Well, for Kirkwood I don't know, I'm not the one who has done most of
the Kirkwood conversions.

I continue to have mixed feelings about the usage of node labels. To
me, it breaks the "tree" nature of the Device Tree, by turning it into
just a bunch of &bleh { ... } long list of statements. But this is
purely subjective (just like your opinion, I believe), and I wanted to
move forward with this, so I just did what was necessary :-)
