In general, the use of a wildcard compatible string is discouraged
over the use of a more descriptive compatible string. So you should
find out what is the first chip that is compatible, and use that
compatible string as long as that compatibility remains.

It would not hurt if you did specify the unit of the
"brcm,drive-strength" property here. Also, if the default is 6, maybe
the example below should be fixed to reflect that so people do not
think that writing 4 to a register = 6 mA.
