Sure, old habits die hard...  I'll fix it in patch v5.

Well, vendor compatible strings are clearly optional for the
Utgard GPU series for which the bindings docs were recently
merged.  It seems that whether these should be optional or not,
the documentation should be consistent between at least all
similar types of devices like Midgard and Utgard GPUs.  They have
different architectures but from a device tree point of view,
they both have the same kind of SoC-specific integration (clocks,
irqs, regulators...).

So was this was overlooked in the Utgard case and should it
ideally be fixed there as well as non-optional?  Or, is it OK to
keep these optional on a second thought?
