Seems OK, but a few thoughts:

1. Is it worth renaming this file? Something like
"samsung,atna-oled-panel.yaml"? I'd be interested in DT maintainer
folks' opinions here.

2. In theory you could make your compatible look like this:

compatible = "samsung,atna45af01", "samsung,atna33xc20"

...which would say "I have a 45af01 but if the OS doesn't have
anything special to do that it would be fine to use the 33xc20
driver". That would allow device trees to work without the kernel
changes and would allow you to land the DT changes in parallel with
the driver changes and things would keep working.

...and, in fact, that would mean you _didn't_ need to add the new
compatible string to the driver, which is nice.
