It would be nice to have a helpful link like:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#nvmem-nodes

Yes this looks better, but this introduce a new dtbs_check issue. The 
new compatible must be documented in 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/nvmem/rmem.yaml in a separate patch 
and reviewed by the DT guys.

Btw better use linux-arm-kernel list instead of lkml

Best regards
