Since linux doesn't have the compatible in it's driver what would be the harm to add the node in the DTS ? If a quirks is needed because some region is weird this would go in the driver right ? I don't see a technical problem for adding this node right now. If Kyle confirm the lenght of the region and that no quirk is needed will it be enough ?
