Labels are not listed in dt binding and there are two approaches how to
reference nodes. Via full path with node name or via labels.
I do normally use labels which are much simple.
And also if you take a look how dtb looks like (convert back to dts) you
can see that for example aliases are using full path (just &label) but
clocks/gic which is the part of <> is handled via phandles as numbers.

And labels names can vary and shouldn't be the part of binding doc as
far as I know. But I can be wrong of course.

Thanks,
Michal
