Subject: Duplicate labels in dts files

The following arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dts all have duplicate label
definitions, albeit all duplicates pointing at the same node. Is this
expected? This does work OK with the in-kernel dtc and latest mainline
dtc, but triggered some error-checks in a dtc patch that I have locally,
which allows node/property deletion. I think the duplicate labels should
probably be removed - do you agree?
