I think the DT Maintainers and checkpatch.pl maintainers need to think
about this. Maybe a regex would be enough in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/m25p80.txt?

For the moment i would suggest adding a vendor prefix, but nothing
more.

As there already is in armada-370-xp.dtsi

aliases {
eth0 = &eth0;
eth1 = &eth1;
};


eth0: ethernet@70000 {
}
eth1: ethernet@74000 {
}

This at least works for i2c devices. The pdev->id is set using the
alias number.
