The model property is already used for the verbose name of a board. I
described it as:

/*
 * The model is the verbose name of a board. It can contain
 * whitespaces, uppercase/lowcer letters, digits, ',', '.'
 * '-', '_'
 */

Whereas the hostname is without whitespaces, I described it as:

/*
 * The hostname is supposed to be the shortname of a board. It should
 * contain only lowercase letters, numbers, '-', '_'. No whitespaces
 * allowed.
 */

I think it is reasonable to add a hostname property to the devicetree.
The last time I thought about this I couldn't really agree with myself
how to name it.
