That's fine (label naming doesn't matter). You don't have to change all
your DTS files with the new node name, although at some point it could
be required.

For some other bindings in different subsystems, the node name pattern
is now enforced by dtschema (git grep -C 1 -E
'(nodename|patternProperties)' -- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/).
