Ok, will fix in v2.

Should I also assign a label, like "isl29023: light-sensor@44"? I
couldn't find any recommendation on this.

There are no immediate uses for a label but this practice is very
common. Having labels allows creating minor board variants with reduced
churn in the base dts so it seems good.
