This patch adds a PMU(Power Management Unit) syscon node. This

  Assume a case where exynos PMU is made as platform driver [1] and we
need use the compatible  "samsung,exynos4-pmureg" in the driver.
But since syscon driver uses compatible "syscon" and once the syscon
driver is probed, the  exynos PMU platform driver [1] will NEVER be
probed.
So my question is, can we have 2 compatible strings for a DT node, and
both the compatible strings are used for probing purpose?
Recently I faced this issue on exynos5250, where i was testing PMU
driver [1] and I noticed that  PMU driver [1] was NEVER probed, if I
enable syscon driver in menuconfig.

No, it is not possible to bind two drivers with different compatible strings to the same node. Basically this is because only one platform driver can be bound to particular platform device.

The rule is that the most specific compatible string (e.g. the first from the left) that matches should be used, but I'm not sure if this is implemented this way in Linux kernel, especially considering that a platform driver usually probes when it is being registered. So we might have a race here, which you can work around by making sure that your PMU driver is always registered first (e.g. by lowering its initcall level).

Best regards,
Tomasz
