Am I correct, this reads as:

Either
	compatible = rohm,bd71828
or
	compatible = rohm,bd71879, rohm,bd71828

but not compatible = rohm,bd71879?

Correct.

Thanks Conor!

I guess that if we later find out that there is a 'gizmo' in BD71828 which is not present on BD71879 - and if we write driver supporting this, then we need to have handling for both the BD71879 and BD71828 in this driver to ensure the fall-back wont happen. It's a bit ugly as I think the fall-back compatible should be used only in case where the "fall-back" HW can be guaranteed to have exactly same, or a subset of, features of the "full board".

Well, I've been told these are similar by HW colleagues. I have my doubts if 'similar' really is '_similar_', or if it's 'similar, except of course...' - but let's trust the HW guys on this. We have the above mentioned workaround if we should not have trusted...
