I can't tell from this commit message what the issue you're trying to
fix is, sorry.  Nodes without compatible strings are entirely normal and
don't need compatible strings.  It sounds like a bug in whatever other

This will break all existing users which is not acceptable for
mainline, we need to preserve compatibility with existing device trees.
