The added compatible strings can be found in:
- arch/mips/lantiq/xway/sysctrl.c,
- arch/mips/lantiq/falcon/prom.c,
- arch/mips/lantiq/xway/prom.c.

Upstream only has one dts for danube development board. More dts
can be found in OpenWRT [1]. I have a bunch of these devices and
intend to send dts files upstream.

Will be fixed in v2.

Will be fixed in v2.

The added dt-binding contains only the SoC part. The compatible strings
for individual boards will be added later together with the dts files. Before
sending the dts files I want to document current bindings and clear
checkpach warnings about undocumented strings.
