We've occasionally done this in the past for other types of resources.
When we did it was to preempt having to verbosely describe exactly what
order -names entries need to be in if ever a new entry was required.

For example, if we document only one clock for a module and leave out
the clock-names property, then if ever we need to add another clock, it
means that clock-names must be documented in such a way that the "main"
clock (the one that was always documented) would need to be first in the
list of clock-names, so that it's matching entry in the clocks property
is at index 0, because that's effectively what the ABI is.

I think the same essentially applies to memory regions, though
admittedly I have a hard time seeing us add a second region at any point
in the future.
