s/documented/implemented/
There are features of the hardware that may need additional properties.

For now, see above, there is no need. Moreover, there is no need at all as we have autodetection mechanism. I don't see why we should have two compatible strings just for the sake of having them.

So, please clarify the DT's p.o.v. on the hardware that can be autodetected. Do we need to still have different compatible strings? What for? I don't see the need, sorry for my (silly) questions.
