Thanks Shawn. This is definitely on track. Comments below...

Hmmm. David Gibson had tossed out an idea of automatically generating
aliases from labels. It may be time to revisit that idea.
David, perhaps using this format for a label should turn it into an
alias (prefix label with an asterisk):
*thealias: i2c at 12340000 { /*...*/ };
.... although that approach gets *really* hairy when considering that
different boards will want different enumeration. How would one
override an automatic alias defined by an included .dts file?

Rather than parsing the alias strings everytime, it would probably be
better to preprocess all the properties in the aliases node and create
a lookup table of alias->node references that can be walked quickly
and trivially.
Also, when obtaining an enumeration for a device, you'll need to be
careful about what number gets returned. If the node doesn't match a
given alias, but aliases do exist for other devices of like type, then
you need to be careful not to assign a number already assigned to
another device via an alias (this of course assumes the driver
supports dynamics enumeration, which many drivers will). It would be

Personally, it an alias isn't present, then I'd dynamically assign a port id.
