I don't know how useful are these compatibles, but if I take the case
of atmel,sama5d3-nfc-io, it is only described in this file, while
several DTSI reference it. After this change they will no longer be
referenced at all but still in use. Is this intended? Shall these
compatibles be totally dropped from the device trees as well?

$ git grep -c atmel,sama5d3-nfc-io arch/
arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/sama5d2.dtsi:1
arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/sama5d3.dtsi:1
arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/sama5d4.dtsi:1
arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/sama7g5.dtsi:1

Thanks,
Miquèl
