The binding change looks reasonable to me.

The *.dtsi change will cause the new DT not to work with older kernels
that don't support the new compatible values. Perhaps you're fine with that?

I assume that the driver has already been updated to support the new
values, and that the driver change is guaranteed to be merged before
this change? Otherwise, git bisect will be broken for a while.
