Given that the port is still very early and experimental and has very few users
and no field deployment so I don't really think it would have annoyed anybody in
practice. But yes in principle you are right, while the header renames keep the
same value, the string names are used to match the device-tree definitions and
this constitues ABI that needs to remain stable.

I don't think the patches were accepted for over a week so we can probably
still act. I will send reverts, unless maintainers want to manually remove
these commits?
