It means that the driver currently matches on one of the first three
strings that don't carry that annotation.

The intention was to try to be helpful: to document that anyone adding a
"nvidia,tegra132-pcie" compatible string would also need to add one of the
other strings as a fallback. Would you like that to be documented in a
different way, or removed?
