This compatible string with a different vendor prefix was added for a specific reason.
Please see the commit message of the following patch :-
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220511094024.175994-2-shreeya.patel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

We were very well aware that not documenting this was going to generate a warning so
we tried to fix that with a deprecated tag but it was NAKd by Rob. What we understood
from his last message was that it wasn't necessary to fix the DT warning.

From what I read in the aforementioned discussion thread, it seems Rob was very much opposed to this compatible string, so this shouldn't have gone in in the first place.

But it did ... so the question is, what now ?
