Hmm... In another thread there is a discussion on label vs. datasheet_name.
So, why datasheet name and not something that it's more reliable as a platform
description? As far as I understand there many mysterious ways of HW
engineering and how to connect available pins to something interesting. Even
datasheet names may be quite mislead on a certain platform (due to above).
I would expect this to come from DT or another platform description and user
space should rely on the information from _there_.
