What was ugly was the original board files with duplicate code in the kernel source for each platform. Anyway, why is this ugly? It is simply a device address and a label. The driver needs this information, so you can either hard code it (not a good idea because it leads to duplicate code) or you can define it in the device tree. Same thing for gpio numbers, interrupts, dma channels, etc. Take the time to understand the format and it won’t seem so confusing.
