I looked around non-qcom device trees and it looks like the common
consensus is 2. Although I personally visually prefer 1. and it's
been used in all qcom arm64 DTs to date, I don't think there are any
blockers for us to switch to 1. going forward to keep it consistent.

That's if we want to clean up the existing ones, as changing the rules
and not applying that to the older files will make for a huge mess as
time goes on and will unnecessarily prolong the review process (as
existing DTs are commonly a source of reference and people make
certain choices based on those).

I don't think the DTS specification or the Linux docs explicitly which
one to choose though.
