Spec allows way to much. dtc doesn't. One thing is the spec, second
thing is coding style.

Which we do not want in the DTS.

I don't want to impose any rule on that, because someone would like to
argue that hex should be also in SPI chip-select reg.

Where is it defined as this is preferred order?

Spec is not a coding style.

Which is exactly what you want. status is irrelevant for hardware
description, so should be the last item.

Yes.

I have never seen a SoM which can run without elaborate hardware-hacking
(e.g. connecting multiple wires to the SoM pins). The definition of the
SoM is that it is a module. Module can be re-used, just like SoC.
