I'm not convinced that removing the board-specific compatible value is a 
great idea. What if we find we need to distinguish between different 
boards that use this same binding in the future. That situation is 
exactly why we have board-/SoC-specific values in compatible even if we 
don't immediately use them.

I believe this also technically breaks ABI, since some user-space tools 
use the model to look up saved state. Can we not leave this as is, and 
just have the UCM files know about both names?

Aside from that, I think the series looks OK at a quick glance.
