You need specific compatible, just like everywhere else. You can use
"git grep simple-mfd" or "git grep simple-mfd -- arch/arm*" or on
bindings to figure this out.

Just remember that simple-mfd means children do not depend on anything
provided by the parent. You cannot later remove it "just because" or
"oh, now I want driver". That would affect users of DTS.

Right, I always forget we did not convert simple-mfd to DT schema, so
the warnings are only for syscon.
