Aliases are board/user orientated based on availability.
See discussion elsewhere(by Arnd Bergmann and others, see lore link unknown for now)
All aliases should be moved out of the dtsi files, so there's no guaranty that they are there anymore.
Aliases should follow the Rockchip TRM naming to prevent confusion.(by Heiko)
Special rules apply to mmc aliases: based on availability, reg order and without number gap. 

U-Boot/bootloader specific:
Aliases get lost with reduced DT's and are problematic with overlays,etc(ie. it needs special handling on top of that).
Aliases are not in the dtb platdata structure made by dtoc for TPL/SPL.(current drivers don't work yet, but in the future they may)

Best is to have a property inside the node for parsing and reduced nodes.
gpio-ranges is the only option currently available.
(not saying that is perfect, but at least don't invent new properties that needs to be continuously supported as legacy)
