This comes up over and over, and the answer is still no. Either each 
block is identical and doesn't matter which one is used for what or 
there is some h/w difference that you should describe. 

If you want something that would even be considered to put into DT, 
then define something BSD or other OS's could use too. (That's not a 
suggestion to respin this with generalized names.)
