Again, you're totally FAILING to get the point.

Had DT support been created before the new version came out there would
be no 'legacy' in terminology what so ever.  _That's_ the whole point.

What you're using is *todays* terminology, not the terminology used at
the point of *creation*.

Why can't you get it through your thick skull that at some day, the
entire Cortex-A5 series of CPUs is going to be called 'legacy'.  And
at that point, will you be wanting to rename all the properties because
of that change?  No.  That's insane.  So why the fuck do it now to the
CA9x5?

Try thinking.  It's good for the mind.
