Use '-' rather than '_'. dtc has more warnings since last time...

A unit address without reg property is now a warning.

Could this node be a child of CLUSTER_PD rather than having a phandle? 
Doesn't matter so much here, but when you have 3 levels?

These 2 nodes are identical, so why do you need both?
