As Russell indicated you should really keep the old name around, though marking them as deprecated is OK. However I'm not sure anyone will have deployed this so I'm not sure how much it matters - every downstream kernel I've seen was still using board files anyway.
This is there only on exynos5250.dtsi, so changing this file alone is enough. patch3 in this series have the same.
The idea with DT is that you can bake the DT into a board firmware and then upgrade the kernel without upgrading the DT.
Having only the version info is confusing. When I posted my previous version of patches I was clear which version introduced in which platform and again if I come back today and see I again had to search each SoC datasheet. So I think this patch now clearly explains what new support introduced in which version of IP and which SoC platform.
Like I keep saying the problem we've always had is that there's never been a 1:1 mapping between SoCs and IIS IPs, and of course nobody can get the documentation on the older SoCs outside of Samsung so... If it were a linear march forward in terms of IP it'd be a lot easier :(
