So the way I understand this is that commit description is incomplete.
I can change it to your liking, okay.
FWIW, "add new device here" is said as
"Add the compatibles for two possible audio codecs" and removal of
child schema reference is also mentioned as "while also                                        
removing reference to qcom,pm8916-wcd-analog-codec schema file".
But I can change it, okay.

The original idea was to fix the warning or error emitted by dtbs check
but now the whole body os the change is your suggestion. Now it seems
it was not even needed at that point earlier which is a new finding.
Your prefference -- drop it or keep it.
