I have chatted with a couple of people on this and it is acceptable to
omit vendor prefix in bindings when we are using a specific driver like
we have here (i.e. when driver's compatible string already includes
vendor prefix). Vendor prefixes on properties are required when we
augment a generic driver's binding.

So the above 2 entries are fine as is.

Thanks.
