Okay.  But no uppercase please.  Otherwise, you introduce the following
DTC warnings (with W=1 switch) we are trying to clean up.

 Warning (alias_paths): /aliases: aliases property name must include only lowercase and '-'

If you want to do such default pinmuxing, please do it in your firmware.
We generally do not want to use hog group too much, because that makes
it difficult to find out which client devices consume which pins.

I'm talking about label not node name.  That said I was suggesting
something like:

	ds1307: rtc at 68
