I get what you mean, but at the end of the day, the entire machine DT 
specifies all machine-specific changes and only machine-specific 
changes. They all are a part of a bigger picture, sometimes being 
downstream from the SoC, sometimes downstream from a common board. I 
don't think it brings much benefit if at all to separate them into 
sections like these, if in the end they all correspond to modifications 
present in the hardware. In its current form, the sorting is all over 
the place, and ideally we could have labels sorted alphabetically.

The present solution, in my opinion, causes more disarray as you first 
have to think about what is the change against and then find it in the 
corresponding subsection instead of thinking of it as a complete 
quote-on-quote diff against the parent DTSIs. Plus, most DTs don't split 
it like that.

Ok, totally fair, it somehow slipped my mind that you have to delete one 
property to replace it with the other, I retract that comment then.
