Here are some Sascha Hauer's arguments for using aliases in the dts
files:
- using aliases reduces the number of indentations in dts files;
- dts files become independent of the layout of the dtsi files
(it becomes possible to introduce another bus {} hierarchy between
a toplevel bus and the devices when you have to);
- less chances for typos. if &i2c2 does not exist you get an error.
If instead you duplicate the whole path in the dts file a typo
in the path will just create another node.

Current ath79 clock.c code does not read reference clock and
pll setup from devicetree. The ar724x_clocks_init() function
recreates the clocks from scratch so devicetree clock
information is dropped. After adding the code which picked up
reference clock from devicetree I have found
that kernel does not boot anymore. The SPI and UART drivers
can't get clk; here are the bootlog error messages:
of_serial: probe of 18020000.uart failed with error -22
ath79-spi: probe of 1f000000.spi failed with error -22
The problem is that clock code assumes that reference clock
name is "ref" but current dts-file uses another name: "oscillator".
This patch fixes the problem by changing external oscillator
dt node name to "ref".
Please note that there is an alternative solution for the problem:

Add a DTS for TL-WR1043ND version 1 and allow to have it built in the
kernel to circumvent the broken u-boot found on these boards.
Currently only the UART, LEDs and buttons are supported.
