Not stupid at all.

I wouldn't prefer removing the labels altogether. Having labels for 
switch ports defined on the SoC devicetree is necessary for any device 
that would not have its own naming over it. Especially, evaluation or 
development boards (which their DTs are not necessarily on mainline 
Linux or OpenWrt) do this.
