Can you explain somewhere here what the "dock" and "pad" devices are and
how they differ? For example, I am currently wondering why tf700t has both
"dock" and "pad".
Also, why are some of the compatibles permitted standalone? That should
be mentioned in your commit message too. Also, other than the sl101, the
standalone ones seem to have the same match data in the mfd driver. Why
are fallbacks not made use of there?

Since this transformer series seems to have multiple programming models
for "ec-pad" devices, it calls into question your use of the generic
fallback compatibles is appropriate and makes it seem like you should be
using device compatibles as a fallback.

The rest looks okay other than the filename, which doesn't match any of
the compatibles that you've got here.

Cheers,
Conor.
