You added GPR to services in 2021, so it grew past 9 years. Then it grew
in 2022 when I started adding missing pieces - missing compatibles and
properties.

This cannot be fixed without making schema over-complicated. It includes
six different compatibles. Except few of them - these compatibles
represent different devices.

These are not bindings for services but bindings for their devices.
