I don't really remember what was that property used for. Would it make
sense to put it into the battery node?

It's not called the label, but the node name, and it's defined in the
ePAPR.

It's <device-class>[@<address>]

The address being something to identify the node on a bus, so it can
be a chip select number, a memory address, an i2c address,
etc. there's really no absolute answer here.

I don't think you really need one in this case.

Yep, it looks sensible.
