We do not talk about parent node. Rob's question was in this bindings.
Is this document a binding for the parent node or for this node?

The role of the bindings is not to simplify some specific driver in some
specific OS...

And why is this a problem? You have different hardware, so should have
different compatibles. Otherwise we would have a compatible
"all,everything" and use it in all possible devices.

I don't understand the question.
