If I remember correctly, DT maintainers want every supported compatible
string explicitly listed in bindings doc.  And they even added a check
into checkpatch.pl with commit bff5da433525 ("checkpatch: add DT
compatible string documentation checks").

Okay, I assumed that a single user only need to deal with one particular
version of "dcfg" block, and the register set should be fixed.  It seems
that's not always the case.  But at least, "fsl,ls1043a-dcfg" can be
dropped here?

I failed to grep the string in both bindings and drivers folder, so
thought this is an undocumented/unsupported compatible.

Can we replace the newline with a single line comment to tell how they
are grouped?
