It's a made up name.

I can do that, certainly, but I'm not sure if that implies other QEMU
devices should follow suit.
For example, the virtio-mmio transports that qemu advertises have the
"compatible" property "virtio,mmio". "virtio" is not a vendor prefix
either (according to the above text file).
Here's the full list of compatible strings from the generated DTB:
compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
compatible = "arm,armv7-timer";
compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
compatible = "arm,pl031", "arm,primecell";
compatible = "arm,psci-0.2", "arm,psci";
compatible = "cfi-flash";
compatible = "fixed-clock";
compatible = "fw-cfg,mmio";
compatible = "virtio,mmio";
compatible = "linux,dummy-virt";
According to
<http://devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage#Understanding_the_compatible_Property>,
"cfi-flash" and "fixed-clock" don't even have the correct format
(there's no comma separating <manufacturer> from <model>).

The registers are not necessarily placed shoulder to shoulder (it's not
a requirement in the QEMU source).

No, there is not.
