I agree with you on this and I see the point, but Rob had a very
different opinion about the reg-names bindings to start with.

This topic been discussed in the past with Rob in many instances ex:

According to him, reg-names seems to be highly discouraged as it came
along for the OMAP folks and was related to the hwmods stuff.
