w1: coding-style - naming for master/slave for new driver and dt binding

Hello Krzystof,
During review of my dt-bindings patches for a new w1 driver
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/10/13/959), there was mention that the use
of 'master' is not considered great terminology nowadays. Are there any
plans to replace the usage of master/slave in w1 as mentioned in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst ? As we are in the final stages
of our W1 soft IP development, I believe there is a small window in
which we can align on our new IP name if appropriate, prior to my next
round of patch submission for amd,axi-w1-master and get the binding to
match.
If there is a preferred choice from the example alternatives in the
docs, I can look to see if we can align the naming and update my next
patch round accordingly - however if the guidance is to keep to the
specification-defined terminology (pre-2020) then we can do so.
regards
Kris
