When the = driver no longer requires the port number, it's easy to drop. = Until then, I'll keep it in.

Also, I'm not so sure that = moving to completely generic names is really worth the effort... = All the 'semantically' interesting' information is already in the device = tree somewhere else. In the limit, the node name could = just be a randomly generated string. So now we have a matter = of taste: what is the right amount of detail to put in so that someone = who looks at the tree can easily understand what's going on, but not be = overwhelmed? The xilinx ip name seems to usually do that almost as = well as a 'generic name'. Anyway, you proved me wrong last time = after a bunch of mulling it over, so maybe I'll just take your word for = it and do it that way. :)

And has already been discussed, drop = the port-number property. I'll
