Current device tree compiler allows to define multiple labels when defining the device node the first time. Typically device nodes are defined in DTSI files. Now these nodes can be overriden for updating some of the properties. Typically, device nodes are overridden in DTS files. When working with adapter boards, most of the time adapter board can fit to multiple base boards. But depending on which base board it is connected to, the devices on the adapter board would be children of different devices. e.g. On dra7-evm.dts, i2c2 is exported for expansion connector whereas on dra72-evm.dts, i2c5 is exported for expansion connector. This causes a problem when writing a generic device tree file for the adapter board. Because, you cannot know wheather all the devices on adpter board are present on i2c or i2c5. The problem can be solved by adding a common label (e.g. i2cexp) in both of the DTS files when overriding the device nodes for i2c2 or i2c5. This way, generic adapter board file would override the i2cexp. And depending on which base board you use the adpter board, all the devices are automatically added for correct device nodes.
