Ahh, thanks. Must have missed running the dt_binding_check on this one.

Per the current implementation yes, worst case if one or more of them isn't the
more specific compatible can be used to alter the behavior of that platform.

Because if we say compatible = "qcom,sc8180x-osm-l3", "qcom,sdm845-osm-l3" and
there is a quirk needed for "qcom,sdm845-osm-l3" we're forced to add a "special
case" every other *-osm-l3 in the driver.

This way we can have a generic implementation for the qcom,osm-l3 and if we
realize that we need to quirk something for the oldest platform, we can do so
without affecting the others.
