Whether the driver matches or not is irrelevant to the binding and may
change over time. Does this mean the driver matches on something else
or Tegra132 is not yet supported in the driver? If the former, what is
important is what are the valid combinations of compatible properties
and that is not captured here. In other words, what is the fallback
compatible string for each chip?

The same comments apply to the rest of the series.
