Since driver does all the detection an update of the bindings isn't
really necessary. It is just to have a compatible already in place in
case there a things we can't detected during runtime. This flow is
common for a lot of SoC drivers. The fallback will be used as long as
possible and once a specific feature can't be detected only via the
binding, the driver adds the new binding to it of_compatible.
