Yeah, I agree -- but I'd say the scaling problem is with checkpatch.
It's silly to require every single small board variant to be
documented, especially in cases where the dts is self-documenting such
as this. If anything, there should be a script that can be used to
scrape this info and build the docs from compat+model info.
It's not a bad idea to add a more specific compatible. if you think
you want a separate model string, then you should probably have a
separate compatible (but keep lower-order ones so that there's no
difference from the kernel point of view which will just match the
more generic one).
