Simon, thank you for this hint.
The patch 2/7 adds a seperate binding doc, that contains the info about
the deprecated compat strings. But I think this is not the way to go. I
will change the patch 2/7 to update the info
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/nfc/pn533-i2c.txt
instead, rename it to pn532.txt and do not add a new binding doc.
