See http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-November/388022.html

Also, different compatibles are used for different hardware, regardless
of how close the drivers may be. The driver might only be compatible when
implementing a subset of the possible features. If one were to fully
implement it, they would become incompatible.

To put it another way, the compatible string designates the hardware,
and the driver implements support for that compatible string.
