There won't be any problems at the moment.

Just out of habit (because when writing code, variable names cannot
begin with a number)
There may be some misimplemented parsers that cannot do this.

As a practical matter, the branch of openwrt has added support for
this board in advance, and openwrt uses the DTS name to initialize
some default settings such as LEDs and bridge

I'm not sure if he will affect the version that has been released.
But maybe it's not a big problem.

If you feel that there is no problem, I can send a new set of patches
to fix this problem.

Thanks
