[PATCH] dt-bindings: arm: qcom: Drop redundant free-form SoC list

[PATCH] dt-bindings: arm: qcom: Drop redundant free-form SoC list

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The schema and Devicetree specification defines how list of top-level
compatibles should be created, thus first paragraph explaining this is
completely redundant.

The list of SoCs is redundant as well, because the schema lists them.
On the other hand, Linux kernel should not be place to store marketing
names of some company products, so such list is irrelevant here.

-  For devices using the Qualcomm SoC the "compatible" properties consists of
-  one or several "manufacturer,model" strings, describing the device itself,
-  followed by one or several "qcom,<SoC>" strings, describing the SoC used in
-  the device.

   There are many devices in the list below that run the standard ChromeOS
   bootloader setup and use the open source depthcharge bootloader to boot the
   OS. These devices use the bootflow explained at
