Do you have any suggestion about how it should be worded? It is
apparently valid to have only a compatible string in the dt-binding and
rely on using platform hooks to communicate the mapping. In that case,
the dt-binding only communicates the presence of SBI PMU support.
IMO, if we don't mention that that is a valid way, the fact that we only
require a compatible for a DT to be valid looks like a mistake in the
binding.
Thanks,
Conor.
