didn't we have this same discussion some weeks ago? ;-) .

I.e. spi2 on Rockchip socs is called spi2 in _all_ SoC documentation,
lines in _all_ schematics are also always called spi2_foo , so as before
I really don't see any value in repeating the very same aliases in
_every_ board.

Same for i2c, uart .


It is of course different for non-numerable interfaces - like the mmcX
aliases - where the controller is named sdhci, sdmmc, sdio ... and
similar cases. These get to stay in the board dts files of course.
