labels missing from DTS in nRF Connect SDK 2.1.0

[denis]

In nRF Connect SDK 2.1.0 the devices in the DTS file are missing the "label".

For example, in nRF Connect SDK 2.0.0:

gpio0: gpio@842500 {

        compatible = "nordic,nrf-gpio";

        gpio-controller;

        reg = <0x842500 0x300>;

        #gpio-cells = <2>;

        label = "GPIO_0";

        status = "disabled";

        port = <0>;

};

But in nRF Connect SDK 2.1.0:

gpio0: gpio@842500 {

        compatible = "nordic,nrf-gpio";

        gpio-controller;

        reg = <0x842500 0x300>;

        #gpio-cells = <2>;

        status = "disabled";

        port = <0>;

};

This breaks code that does dynamic lookup of the device using the function device_get_binding (in my case passing in a string that is constructed at run time).

Sounds like Nordic does not want to keep the label property because it is confused with the node label.  I'm fine with that as I can implement my dynamic lookup by adding my own label properties to the device tree, etc.
