I think that's actually the correct interpretation: if it's a RISC-V CPU then
it must have "riscv" listed in compatible, but it can also be anything else.
There's some concrete examples here (a "sifive,e51" is a type of "riscv"), but
I don't think it's realistic to count on us being able to enumerate all RISC-V
implementations here.
