Right, that is what I'm doing too.

Erm, that is not true, I did follow that convention as my 2 new
dts files started in the old format too, and I simply re-indented
most nodes.

If we agree on this, we also need to think about what to do with new
board specific powersupplies, as those need to be in the root node,
if you look at the bananapro dts from the v2 patch you will see what
I mean.
