I guess that depends a little on how you define compatibility. I had
always assumed that the top-level compatible string would be a sort of
"checksum" over the rest of the content. Which, admittedly, makes it
kind of redundant. Compatibility could mean a lot of things. Does it
mean any kernel/DTB compatible with one device could run on any device
derived from it? Does compatibility mean it needs to provide full
functionality or is it still compatible if it runs at a reduced feature
set but doesn't "break" otherwise?
