Will do it.

I read ePAPR and it suggests "The name of a node should be somewhat
generic, reflecting the function of the device and not its precise
programming model".

So seems to me it's good to keep using generic naming 'funnel'.  If I
misunderstand anything, just let me know.

Will spin patch set for following other suggestions.
