Broadcom uses "brcm" as the vendor prefix in device trees, and the
cpu's compatible string is "brcm,vulcan", so this should be ok.

It looks like the A53 and A57 entries have established a convention of
calling the PMU  "armv8_<cpuname>". Otherwise, something very close
to the PMU's OF compatible string would have been better here.
