Not sure about that. Perhaps the spec should be updated to match reality
instead... We have many more instances like this, even for this very
SoC, but apparently OpenBSD or whatever OS needs this falls back to the
root domain then.

Changing this for the rtc node for consistency after you changed the
others is a no-brainer, but not sure about trying to do this tree-wide.
We already have too many of these one-line DT cleanups...
