Hi Sergey,

Thanks for your review.

I thought we referred to it as DT node when talking about .dts{i,o} 
files and OF node when it was used inside the kernel? The infrastructure 
around its called of_get_child_by_name() and of_node_put() for example.  
And I believe OF is an abbreviation for Open Firmware (?). IIRC this is 
because ACPI might also be in the mix somewhere and DT != ACPI :-)

I'm happy to change this if I understood it wrong, if not I like to keep 
it as is.
