One more thing not mentioned is "no 0x prefix" (the unit address is *always*
interpreted as hex).

Lowercase hex seems to be (in my experience?) the consensus for everything
except preprocessor defines across the spectrum

No leading zeroes.. I guess it was just eye-pleasing for people that have
been doing devicetree to date, myself included.
