H/w designers do just like us; they copy-n-paste IP > blocks into chips. Sometimes errors happen even during copy-paste procedure. Or for example HW designers have made some minor (they thought) change, and didn't bother to bump the revision. Later we observe that the change is the cause of some errata, but we can't deal with it because device-tree isn't specific enough. Of course this is just my imagination, but theoretically possible?
