Is there any DT based h/w using this? I'm not aware of any. I would 
prefer not merging this until there is. I have little insight whether 
these genericish compatibles will be sufficient, but I have lots of 
experience to say they won't be. I would also suspect that if anyone has 
started using this, they've just extended/modified it however they 
wanted and no feedback got to me.

Don't need the type. It's in the core schemas now.

Don't need quotes. This should be a warning, but no testing happened 
because the DT list and maintainers weren't CCed.

All the above should be dropped. Not part of this binding.

Pretty sure this is a warning because that compatible doesn't exist.
