How about having these one per line, with a description:

- compatible: should contain one of:
  * "ti,palmas-usb-vid" for palmas systems. 
  * "ti,twl6035-usb-vid" for twl6035 systems.
  * "ti,palmas-usb" (DEPRECATED - use "ti,palmas-usb-vid").
  * "ti,twl6035-usb" (DEPRECATED - use "ti,twl6035-usb-vid").

That makes it easier to add to in future, and hopefully makes things a
bit clearer.

I don't think we need to state it's kept for backwards compatiblity.
The set of strings Linux understands is a Linux detail rather than a dt
detail.

It might be worth a /* DEPRECATED */ note on the old strings.

Otherwise, the looks sensible to me.

Thanks,
