What will QEMU's DT use? That's an implementation we can and do run 
validation on. Your choices are define a QEMU specific compatible string 
or allow the fallback alone. I'm fine either way. With the latter, 
someone has to review that the fallback is not used alone in .dts files 
while doing the former allows the tools to check for you. It also 
encourages making every new difference a property rather than implied by 
compatible, but those should be caught in review.

If you go with the fallback only, just make it clear that it's for QEMU 
or s/w models only.
