I would say this is the right time now to switch over to a node per
state instead, as we discussed with Vaidy.
It is not a new property. Name was being used for description as
description was not present in device tree. A skiboot patch adding
description to device tree have been posted. This patch reads those
description instead of copying name itself into description. And we fall
back to reading name into description to not break the comaptibility
with older firmware.
Thanks

I posted the node based device tree here :
skiboot patch : https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/923120/
kernel patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/30/1146
Do you have any inputs for this design ?
Additionally, while doing that, we can provide the versioning mechanism
I proposed so we can deal with state specific issues and erratas.
Cheers,
Ben.
