Yes. For example, compatible is set as below for CSR module in i.MX8qm
LVDS subsystem.

compatible = "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr", "syscon", "simple-mfd", "simple-pm-
bus";

Yes, it works if I swap the positions of "simple-mfd" and "simple-pm-
bus".

Device tree specification says the compatible strings should be listed
from most specific to most general.  "simple-mfd" and "simple-pm-bus"
sound like two different things, so I don't have good idea about the
order.  Replacing "simple-mfd" with "simple-pm-bus" and moving
fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml to bus directory look more reasonable to me.  But,
I'd like to know how do device tree folks think.
