There is a recommendation in the kernel documentation quoted below:

  7) The wildcard "<chip>" may be used in compatible strings, as in
     the following example:

         - compatible: Must contain '"nvidia,<chip>-pcie",
           "nvidia,tegra20-pcie"' where <chip> is tegra30, tegra132, ...

     As in the above example, the known values of "<chip>" should be
     documented if it is used.

But I am not sure if this is still a hard requirement.  If so, we should li=
st the processors in the binding.

Leo
