That's why I said in addition to the common one. I'd only expect the
driver to look for "rockchip,rk3066-spi", but a DTB could have:
compatible = "rockchip,rk3188-spi", "rockchip,rk3066-spi";
Seeding the DTBs with the extra strings early makes it more likely that
we can rely on them later. If we don't happen to need them they only
clutter some DTBs.

Sure. Given that this is a known pattern for SPI controllers, do we need
this in each binding doc?
