Maybe so, but there are only 4 compatible strings to document in the 
tree. That's not a lot to cover and we already have some of them in 
free-form text. If the infinite number becomes a problem we can always 
address that later. I'm sure that less than infinite buyers/products 
will prevent infinite producers.

So it is much less a mess compared to at24.

Someone who knows the h/w and can review binding changes.

Doesn't have to be the same person.

Fix this.

This doesn't work for 'atmel,at25' alone. You'll need a 'oneOf' with a 
single entry.

This is common and already has a definition. Just need 'true'.

Constraints? I'd assume it's some power of 2 set.
