I think you cannot change compatible strings because you have to be
compatible with previous stuff. That is the reason why when I
refactored all of this stuff from 'arch/mips/ralink' into
'drivers/pinctrl' I maintained the same for all of them and only
created one binding for all. I know that these SoCs are mostly used in
openWRT and the way of doing things there is that when a new version
is released a new dtb is also compiled so I understand the motivation
of the change itself. In any case, Rob has the last word here, not me
:).

Breaking other users is usually not accepted, so some good reason would
be needed here...

As I explained on my response to Sergio, this doesn't necessarily break anything.
