It's just a string. There is no bug, at least you did not describe where
the bug is.

This has probably little impact on user-space, but there could be such
which actually reads compatibles and depends on them. Or bootloader or
whatever. Therefore to me such cosmetic change of correct compatible is
not worth ABI impact.
