For discoverable buses, we normally use a compatible property that
reflects the device ID on that bus, e.g. on PCI we have "pci1A2B:3C4D",
and I think that makes more sense than having to come up with strings
for sdio devices.

In fact, Linux completely ignores the compatible strings on those
buses (pci, usb, sdio, ...), so I think we can just do the same thing
using no compatible string at all.
