You didn't answer my question about adding documentation...
An example driver which adds a custom compatible string and doesn't
document it:

You're missing a "};", so I'm not sure if you want me to go this way (1):
syscon {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-gpio-regs", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x10000080 0x80>;
ranges = <0 0x10000080 0x80>;
gpio: gpio@0 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-gpio";
reg = <0x0 0x10>;
data = <0xc>;
dirout = <0x4>;
gpio-controller;
gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl 0 0 32>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
};
pinctrl: pinctrl@18 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-pinctrl";
reg = <0x18 0x10>;
foo-pins {};
...
};
};
Or this way (2):
syscon {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-gpio-regs", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x10000080 0x80>;
ranges = <0 0x10000080 0x80>;
pinctrl: pinctrl@18 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-pinctrl";
reg = <0x0 0x28>;
gpio: gpio@0 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm6328-gpio";
reg = <0x0 0x10>;
data = <0xc>;
dirout = <0x4>;
gpio-controller;
gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl 0 0 32>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
};
foo-pins {};
...
};
};
