Yes. My point was not to adopt another vendor's versioning scheme but to
adopt _some_ consistent scheme and document it, e.g., in a sifive.txt
similar to xilinx.txt:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/xilinx.txt

It should be made clear what in the compatible string the version is
(thus my proposal of using a dash as separator), and there you may want
to document how to map between IP/documentation and compatibles for any
new bindings.

Regards,
Andreas
