Ok. I'm not the maintainer of the DTS so no worries from me. I'm
just pointing out that the ePAPR says that node names should be
generic, and 'hiubus' doesn't sound generic to me. If it matches
some datasheet then I suppose that's good, but probably that sort
of distinction should have gone into the compatible string
instead of the node name.
