Subject: [PATCH 1/5] dt-bindings: at24: consistently document the compatible property
Current description of the compatible property for at24 is quite vague.
Specify an exact list of accepted compatibles and document the - now
deprecated - strings which were previously used in device tree files.

Required properties:
- - compatible : should be "<manufacturer>,<type>", like these:
-
- "atmel,24c00", "atmel,24c01", "atmel,24c02", "atmel,24c04",
- "atmel,24c08", "atmel,24c16", "atmel,24c32", "atmel,24c64",
- "atmel,24c128", "atmel,24c256", "atmel,24c512", "atmel,24c1024"
-
- "catalyst,24c32"
-
- "microchip,24c128"
-
- "ramtron,24c64"
-
- "renesas,r1ex24002"
-
- The following manufacturers values have been deprecated:
- "at", "at24"
-
- If there is no specific driver for <manufacturer>, a generic
- device with <type> and manufacturer "atmel" should be used.
- Possible types are:
- "24c00", "24c01", "24c02", "24c04", "24c08", "24c16", "24c32", "24c64",
- "24c128", "24c256", "24c512", "24c1024", "spd"
+ - compatible: must be one of the following:
+
+ "atmel,24c00",
+ "atmel,24c01",
+ "atmel,24c02",
+ "atmel,24c04",
+ "atmel,24c08",

+ "atmel,24c128",
+ "atmel,24c256",

+
+ NOTE: old compatible strings, such as:
+
+ "catalyst,24c32",
+ "microchip,24c128",
+ "ramtron,24c64",
+ "renesas,r1ex24002",
+ "at,24c08",
+ "at24,24c08"
+
+ will still work, but are now deprecated.
+
+ Also: matching by device type alone - while still supported due to
+ implementation details in I2C core - is deprecated as well.
