There was discussion some time ago about using a property instead:

chosen {
   u-boot,dm-spl = <&node1 &node2>;
    u-boot,dm-tpl = <&node1>;
};

At the time I decided that this was more painful since it separates
out the tag from its node.

I wonder if that is still true? We do now in fact generally use a
u-boot.dtsi file to hold these tags.

I'm not suggesting a change, just raising the question.
