We don't need an explanation of why we need specific compatibles in
each binding document (though maybe we need a better explanation
somewhere). We just need to know what are valid values for compatibles
and this includes any combinations. Generally, this is just a list of
combinations.

The Renesas folks have figured out how to do this and they have lots
of SoCs. Yes, it makes for a lot of patches, but they are all mostly 1
liners and are dead simple to review. With QCom, I'm tired of having
the same damn discussion with every new binding.
