I think I didn't explain what the patch is doing properly..
Right now, the remoteproc driver expects "qcom,pronto-v2/v3" for pronto
devices, and "qcom,riva" for riva. This has been already documented
properly.
The wcn36xx driver expects "qcom,pronto" for pronto devices. I am not sure
why wcn36xx was written like this. But it is the current state of the
driver that I am documenting. So the device tree will have compatible
strings like "qcom,pronto-v2", "qcom,pronto"; Both need to be present.
For Riva it would just be compatible = "qcom,riva"; Hence the oneOf.
I will add a comment explaining this in v3
