Yes.

Do you mean the '[0-9a-f]' users that don't use '[0-9af]+'?

These can be found with:

$ find Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ -name \*.yaml | \
	xargs grep pattern: | grep '\[0-9a-f\]' | grep -v '\[0-9a-f\]+'

Not sure if some of these need to intentionally limit the node numbering
to 15.

If you have some other criteria in mind, let me know :)

That sounds like a separate patch though.
