We don't. But I don't think adding a compatible string for each
and every micro-architecture makes much sense unless we have something
useful to add to that compatible string. Such as a full description
of the implementation specific events.
I'm wondering if this isn't going to upset Rob's json-schema bot and
make him mad.
Rob going mad? Never! ;-)
If you *really* want it, I'll respin this patch with the Denver
compatible
added to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/pmu.yaml.
