If you do not have rk3066 documented here, it might be added to entirely different file (for whatever reasons, including that binding would be quite different than px30). Thus you would have rk3066 in rockchip,rk3066-cif-added-later.yaml and px30 in rockchip,rk3066-cif.yaml Just use the filename matching the compatible. That's what we always ask. In every review.
