The particular case where it matters is the GPU node, which U-Boot
manipulates. This revised patch version no longer renames the GPU node
and so in practice avoids any issues that I'm aware of.
If there's a more general rule that node names are part of the ABI, then
indeed we shouldn't take this patch.
