So you do have to add the name in the DTS if the driver is expecting that.

No the DT name for reg and interrupt was accepted and Peter is taking advantage on that.
The only missing binding is the DMA now.

Here is what Peter did.

 			compatible = "ti,omap4-mcpdm";
 			reg = <0x40132000 0x7f>, /* MPU private access */
 			      <0x49032000 0x7f>; /* L3 Interconnect */
+			reg-names = "mpu", "dma";
 			interrupts = <0 112 0x4>;
 			interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
 			ti,hwmods = "mcpdm";
