Now they are referring to the non-existed node in the example. OTOH, there is
already hc595 case...

The Q here (as you pointed out that it's better to name nodes in generic way),
how these names are okay with the schema (hc595, pcf8574) as being referred to?

Some people already tried to explain you their point of view, but I see that:
- the unrelated nodes in the schemas are not welcome (as per your talks
  and documentation);
- the current file has other references that have no existing node in the
  example;
- you are DT maintainer, so I believe you know this better.

With this, I'm almost (see above question though) satisfied with the series.
