Do we really need it ? Does any OS actually parse it from the device tree ?
AFAIK, Linux kernel doesn't use them. As the device tree is intended
to keep the information useful
for supervisor software, I prefer to avoid bloating if possible.

Ahh yes. I will order them in alphabetical order and leave a big
comment for future reference as well.
