Presence of specific requirements does not invalidate compatibility. Two
devices are compatible if the 8k can bind and work with 370 compatible
string, even if this means some lower performance or less features (e.g.
subset of features).

Now whether they are really compatible or not - I don't know. I expect
the answer from you (as plural you).

Fix the DTS, use here the correct combination and, if it is a deviation
from old binding, mention this in commit msg.
