Shouldn't this be "amzn,alpine-apb-ssi"? The convention, and this IS
documented, is to the use company's stock ticker symbol as the prefix,
so as to have something grounded in the real world. I don't know of
anyone else using a product line name as the company name in their dt
bindings. Example, "snps,dw-apb-ssi", is named for Synopsis, not the
Designware line.
