This "compatible" name is a bit too generic.  No, I don't know a
better name :-(

What is a label?  It should be described here.  Also, its encoding
should be described ("a string" I guess).

You show a unit address but have no "reg" value.  This is
incorrect.

What would be the parent node of this, btw?
