I agree that the existing compatible property is sufficient to do
what Stuart wants. All that is required is to define some standard
bindings and give them well-known names for the compatible property.
If needed, we could define a prefix that indicates that a compatible
entry refers to a standards-compliant binding. For example,
"standard,network", or "standard,display". I don't see the benefit
of creating a new property similar to device_type.
