At first view using the label helps to have simpler dts files.

Is there any cons by using it?

I agree that converting the Marvell Armada 32-bits SoCs would produce a
lot of churn. But if some binding are common there is no file at all are
in common, so we could use this solution for the 64 bits SoCs only.

Jason, Andrew, Sebastian, do you see any problem with it?

Thanks,

Gregory
