Ok.

My impression from reading the existing usage of fwnode in gpiolib and
the examples in the link below was that we were going to share the
bindings between DT and ACPI. Doesn't that extend to the meaning of
the compatible property?

Right, fwnode_dependency is just there so we can have a list of fwnodes.

Yes, will make it clearer in the next revision.
