Thanks for clarifying. Then this could be fine. Let me then explain what
is discouraged:
1. Adding bus suffixes to the compatible, so for example foo,bar LED
controller is on I2C bus, so you call it "foo,bar-i2c".

2. Adding device types to the compatible, if this is the only
function/variant of the device, so for example calling foo,bar LED
controller "foo,bar-led". This makes sense in case of multi functional
devices (PMICs, SoCs), but not standalone ones.

So what do we have here? Is it one of the cases above?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
