There is no x in compatible. What is (are) the model name(s)?

Specific means not loose, not generic, precise with some accurate
properties.

You know ask me to know what is in your device. I don't know. You should
know.

Depends. Pretty often yes, but think what do you want to put there?

There are no properties in these nodes, so you do not need nodes. Or if
you have properties then you need specific binding, not generic one.

git grep $ref | grep rtc.yaml
