Im most cases for compatible strings on discoverable buses, the VID and 
PID (and perhaps more) are used to form the compatible string. See USB 
binding for a recent example. This will save you from having to make up 
strings for every device.

unit-addresses should use ',' to separate fields and generally don't 
have leading zeros.
