Yep.

    The preferred form is "<vendor>,<family>-<module>", blah blah ...

As stated in the cover letter:

    Since it's early days for r9a09g011.dtsi, and compatible
    renesas,i2c-r9a09g011 isn't being actively used at the moment,
    I think it's safe to change to make compatible strings less
    confusing.

The bindings entered in v6.0.
The first user in the kernel is not yet in a released kernel, it will
be in v6.1. So it can still be fixed in v6.1...
Even if we don't fix it before v6.2, I don't think there is much harm in
making this change.

With the patch description improved:
