The binding requires two entries in the compatible string used in the DT, the chip name followed by the generic string: items: - enum: - infineon,slb9673 - nuvoton,npct75x - const: tcg,tpm-tis-i2c This allows us to deal with device-specific quirks, should they pop up (e.g. special timing requirements, hardware bugs). We don't know in advance if they will be discovered, but if they are, it's cumbersome to determine after the fact which products (and thus DTs) are affected. So having the name of the actual chip used on the board has value. Thanks, Lukas
