It's only mandatory for SoCs covered by those values - admittedly all SoCs
supported by the driver at this time. But that is an artifact of the
implementation rather than a property of the binding.

In any case I think is already described sufficiently in:

	When compatible with the generic version, nodes must list the
	SoC-specific version corresponding to the platform first followed by
	the generic version.
