Sorry for the slow review; laziness after vacation!

Since there are some differences between the bcm2835 and bcm2836 HW
blocks, I'd expect the compatible value to be different for each. In
particular...

I'd classify that as "additional required properties for
brcm,bcm2836-armctrl-ic"

... and with different compatible values for the two chips, you would
know when probe() should require vs. reject the property.
