I'm fine with adding compatibles if this makes the of/fwnode handling
simpler. However, keep in mind these aren't hardware, they're
effectively software services implemented in a coprocessor. The idea
behind not having compatibles was that the SMC stuff should be
self-discovering enough that it can decide what's available and not at
runtime, and that the SMC core needs to probe before the child devices
anyway, so it's not like this can be a simple-bus. But I'm new to the
MFD subsystem, so if compatibles make life easier, sure.
Personally, I'd defer to Rob's opinon on this (CC'ed), since he has the
last word on DT bindings :).
