This is maybe more something for the DT reviewers to decide but I wonder
if it is a bit confusing/misleading to describe one particular PMIC with
a generic compatible, and the other with a more specific one. Perhaps it
would be clearer to include the PMIC name in both compatibles, i.e.
"qcom,msm8974-pm8941-rpmpd" instead of "qcom,msm8974-rpmpd".

The "qcom,msm8974-rpmpd" compatible could be maybe added as fallback.
While it wouldn't be used for matching in the (Linux) driver the DT
binding itself *is* "compatible" between the two PMICs because they both
have the same power domain indexes.

i.e.
	compatible = "qcom,msm8974-pm8941-rpmpd", "qcom,msm8974-rpmpd";
	compatible = "qcom,msm8974pro-pma8084-rpmpd", "qcom,msm8974-rpmpd";
