All compatibles in entire Linux source code shall be documented, so
please document any new ones appearing in overlays.

I think it is fine and some DTSO already do it. User-space might want to
identify that specific overlay is applied or not. Of course this will
not work when multiple overlays are applied and each changes compatible,
thus I would say this is in general specific to particular cases of
exclusive overlays. In such case, why not making it new board DTS?

If this is not exclusive overlay, then new compatible looks wrong.
