Bindings and DTS (and driver) are always separate.

Compatibles must be specific.

There is also no fallback, but I assume that's intentional - you say
these are not compatible?

That's non-bisectable change (also breaking other users of DTS), so you
need to explain in commit msg rationale - devices were never compatible
and using exynos7 does not work in certain cases.
