You might want to consider reference-based syntax here instead, so you
don't have to mimic the hierarchy. That'd be (at the root level of the
file, below this secion:
&sbc_serial0: {
status = "okay";
};
I'm personally not keen on this scheme. It's sometimes helpful to know
the hierarchy and I don't think it's a large overhead to format the
subordinate DTS files in this way.
Please consider not enforcing this.
Definitely not enforcing it, and I didn't use to like it either but it
has some real upsides.
In particular, it saves a lot of grief when you're changing something
like the unit-id of a node in .dtsi and forget to do the same update
in the dts.
I'm not entirely sure what a unit-id is, but I can see that there
would be benefits to using the referenced-based syntax as you call
it. If any of those benefits hold true here I won't push back, but I
would personally like to see us default to the hierarchical scheme.
+1, I would prefer to keep the hierarchical scheme.
