Go with whatever your subarchitecture and architecture maintainers
prefer, I just shared my opinion that I find such code difficult to read
and maintain.

Extending node with supplies, pinctrl or even clocks would be readable.
But the compatible: no. The same applies when you need to delete
property or subnode: not readable/maintainable IMHO.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
