OK I understood the discussion such that the compatible should
simply be ""faraday,fotg210" as that is the name of the hardware
IP block. This is the name of the hardware name in the Faraday
page:
http://www.faraday-tech.com/html/Product/IPProduct/InterfaceIP/USB2_0.htm

Any other string implies how it is used, so that was what I understood
as the reason to reject it with the "-hcd" (host controller device) suffix.

This seems right, so it is part of the generic bindings, correct?

But this would be wrong, because the compatible should only
indicate what kind of hardware it is, not how it is going to be used
(whether as host only, slave only or dual-role (OTG).

I hope I didn't get anything wrong here :/
