There are devices in the wild with non-updatable firmware coming with ACPI tables with rejected compatibles, e.g. "ltr,ltrf216a". Linux kernel still supports this device via ACPI PRP0001, however the compatible was never accepted to bindings. There are also several early PowerPC or SPARC platforms using compatibles for their OpenFirmware, but without in-tree DTS. Often the compatible is not correct in terms of Devicetree specification, e.g. missing vendor prefix. Finally there are also Linux-specific tools and test code with compatibles. Add a schema covering above cases purely to satisfy the DT schema and scripts/checkpatch.pl checks for undocumented compatibles. For ltr,ltrf216a this also documents the consensus: compatible is allowed only via ACPI PRP0001, but not bindings.
