Sounds fair. Do you think something like the following would fly?

Required properties:
- compatible : Should be "via,rhine-soc-vt8500" for integrated Rhine
cores found in SoC's such as VIA VT8500, WonderMedia WM8950 and
possibly others. These are listed as 1106:3106 rev. 0x84 on the
virtual PCI bus under vendor-provided kernels.

Thanks,
Alexey
