There's no policy against renaming existing files either.

This is a genuine improvement, trying to untangle the mess that you
expressed vast discontent about..

There will be new boards based on this family of SoCs submitted either
way, so I really think it makes sense to solve it once and for all,
instead of bikeshedding over it again and again each time you get a new
dt-bindings change in your inbox.

I understand you're unhappy about patch 6, but the others are
basically code janitoring.
