Device Tree bindings describe hardware and must remain OS-agnostic.
DTS describes hardware. Bindings describe the ABI between hardware and
software, so if SW requires something regarding the DTS, should be
placed in the binding as well, IMO.
I don't see a good reason why the node name must be limited by Linux.
