FWIW: It's not correct that no device uses the version parts of the
compatible string. There are actually two boards documented in qcom.yaml
that follow this scheme:

  compatible = "qcom,msm8916-mtp", "qcom,msm8916-mtp/1", "qcom,msm8916";
  compatible = "longcheer,l8150", "qcom,msm8916-v1-qrd/9-v1", "qcom,msm8916";

I don't think anyone is actively relying on those, though. I guess we
can just ignore them or even remove them.

Thanks,
Stephan
