IMHO the value under compatible are just inputs which can be accepted.
It's little strange to add fallback information in binding. Some other
bindings do not describe so detailedly.
Is it OK to make binding as minimum standard?
If we describe it very detailedly, we will have to modify binding if
there are some changes for mt2701.

Rob, could you give some suggestions?  Thanks!
