Use non vendor specific compatible string in example, otherwise DT YAML
schemas validation may trigger warnings specific to TI ti,davinci_mdio

The problem with this is eventually 'vendor,mdio' will get flagged as
an undocumented compatible. We're a ways off from being able to enable
that until we have a majority of bindings converted. Though maybe
examples can be enabled sooner rather than later.


May be some generic compatible string be used for all examples,
like: "vendor,example-ip". What do you think?

I'm still not clear what problem you are trying to solve. 'may trigger
warnings' doesn't sound like an actual problem.

oh. sry.
it's like this
  - mdio.yaml describes generic MDIO properties, but uses compatible = "ti,davinci_mdio";
  - davinci_mdio (or other IPs) has some custom properties.
    Some of them can be marked as required - for example bus_freq.
    And in the feature i need to add clocks.

   Now "bus_freq" is required for davinci_mdio, but not required for generic mdio example.
   As result, by default, following warning will be produced:
/home/grygorii/kernel.org/linux-master/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mdio.example.dt.yaml: mdio@5c030000: 'bus_freq' is a required property

  to w/a above I've added for davinci_mdio:
if:
   properties:
     compatible:
       contains:
         const: ti,davinci_mdio
   required:
     - bus_freq
  (by the way above is incorrect and if i add "then:" it will still produce warning :), but
   it is different story)

  Next if I add "clocks" as required for davinci_mdio I'll get warning again and
  will need to hack ti,davinci-mdio.yaml or update example in mdio.yaml.

  So, I'm the position of lucky persons who is working on some HW module which bindings
  where occasionally selected as generic example. :)

FYI, below is example from power-domain.yaml:

     parent3: power-controller@12340000 {
         compatible = "foo,power-controller";
         reg = <0x12340000 0x1000>;
         #power-domain-cells = <0>;
         domain-idle-states = <&DOMAIN_RET>, <&DOMAIN_PWR_DN>;
     };


May be it would be acceptable to just drop "compatible" property from generic MDIO example?
