These compatible strings are not found in any mainline dts, remove them.
That's not a real reason. What about all other users?
The people who want their devices being supported should post a working dts first. Having found the dts missing is strongly telling me that this SoC(Hi3516) is orphan and EOL already. I can't even find it in git commit logs. I'll argue that the old binding is simply wrong, and does not describe the hardware properly. Who knows? Could anyone tell me if the driver is still working for Hi3516 or not? I'm very willing to keep the backward compatibility if someone can tell me the effort i paid to maintain the old binding really makes sense. But the only things i found in mainline kernel about Hi3516 is an CRG(clock) driver and this femac driver. And it's been 8 years since last update for this SoC.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
