Although it is obvious solution it is also affecting all out-of-tree
users of DTS.

I could not find the spec for both of these, but similar numbers have
for example exactly the same RTC. I guess other blocks are also the same.

All the entries in drivers which are duplicating the fallback are not
needed. I called them bogus because adding them brought no meaning.

Drop the unneeded entries from the driver, document (properly) the
compatible how it is used in DTS (so not in some other way than DTS
expresses it).
