Readability.

It should definitely not be called "scl" precisely because the node
previously labeled i2c0_scl actually configures both sda and scl together.

And plain "&i2c0" is already taken, so I added _pins.

For the gpios I also changed the label because we are in SoC dtsi,
and gpios are not specific to sda or scl function.

Further including the gpio numbers in the label helps spotting mistakes.

This patch-set is a story explaining chapter by chapter why initially
I just reverted the original commit.

sincerely
