The compatible strings sound good now, but some things below

but in general I'd think that you want something like

  compatible:
    oneOf:
      - items:
          - enum:
              - sifive,fu540-c000-plic
              - canaan,k210-plic
          - const: sifive,plic-1.0.0
      - items:
          - enum:
              - allwinner,sun20i-d1-plic
          - const: thead,c900-plic

Having only one item list would allow as valid combinations like
"sifive,fu540-c000-plic", "thead,c900-plic" when checking the schema.

With the oneOf and separate lists we can make sure that such
"illegal" combinations get flagged by the dtbs_check

[the enum with the single allwinner entry already leaves
 room for later addition to the c900-plic variant]
