How important is this?  We've already got corenet2-cf in SDK device
trees -- and while I know that's not binding on upstream in any way,
it's purely a cosmetic change.  Even if you disregard the SDK, is this
really worth going back and amending several pending patches over
(including a driver that I was waiting for this binding to settle before
sending)?  

FWIW, we have other instances of "deviceN", such as "fsl,etsec2",
"fsl,cpm2-<foo>","fsl,usb2-<foo>", and "fsl,elo3-dma".  We also call it
"corenet2" in U-Boot a lot.

If we must change it, I'd prefer "fsl,corenet-cf-vX.0".
