Thanks for the review!  I agree that we should land this and then make
further progress in additional patches.


Are you suggesting to rewriting this whole bindings doc to not specify
things in an "M x N" type of way?  AKA the top of this doc says:

> Each board must specify a top-level board compatible string with the following
> format:
>         compatible = "qcom,<SoC>[-<soc_version>][-<foundry_id>]-<board>[/<subtype>][-<board_version>]"
> The 'SoC' and 'board' elements are required. All other elements are optional.

...and then the doc goes on to give lists of known SoC and board values.


Presumably if someone were to fix this then they'd need to try to
track down existing boards so they could enumerate every known
combination?
