I do think it's better to keep them aligned.

And I appreciate your noticing this.  I don't see anything
that's accepted upstream that defines properties like this,
but I now see this:
  
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250812-net-k1-emac-v5-2-dd17c4905f49@iscas.ac.cn/

I did a quick scan for what others do when a property's
value is a phandle, and other than just "syscon" it seems
that word is omitted.

So unless someone else suggests otherwise, I'll use
"spacemit,apmu" for this property in my next version.

OK.  I used it when testing USB but we can add the label
back when that driver gets reviewed.

Thanks a lot.
