Yes, with time they should be renamed. A quote from 
http://devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage to give a bit of background

"""
It is worth taking a moment to talk about naming conventions. Every node 
must have a name in the form <name>[@<unit-address>].
<name> is a simple ascii string and can be up to 31 characters in 
length. In general, nodes are named according to what kind of device it 
represents. ie. A node for a 3com Ethernet adapter would be use the name 
ethernet, not 3com509. [...]
Sibling nodes must be uniquely named, but it is normal for more than one 
node to use the same generic name so long as the address is different 
(ie, serial at 101f1000 & serial at 101f2000).
"""

Have a look at the last iteration of my patches, where I remade all the 
mod0 nodes to fit with this.

Cheers,

Emilio
