Thanks for spotting that, I will make it optional again.

Well, given these results:
~/git/linux : git grep 'label = \"cpu\"' arch/arm/boot/dts/ | wc -l
79
~/git/linux : git grep 'label = \"cpu\"' arch/arm64/boot/dts/ | wc -l
14

It's not a surprise I also have it defined in the platforms I test. I
agree it doesn't serve any purpose in terms of creating the devices in
DSA with DT, but it IMO increases readability of the description at
least.

Great, thank you for confirmation.

When I boot with ACPI, the dev->of_node becomes NULL. With DT it's fine as-is.
