As you say, these are old platform. I'm not sure they are actually
buggy or wrong design, it is more that current day best practice is
different to the best practice back then. This was from before the
time linting tools and .yaml existed for DT.

The kirkwood-b3.dts i wrote in 2013 still works, my NAS box gets its
kernel updated about once a year, and a new disk about every 8
years. These systems can keep running for a long time. We have to
accept there will be legacy DT.
