it follows the precedent of arm,mali-utgard.txt and while the file-name
is not part of the compatible list, it feels way better collecting all the
variants in one file, compared to spawning multiple ones for each soc
vendor using a mali gpu.

Also in other places the naming of binding descriptions does not follow
any compatible at all, so the filename = main-compatible does not seem
to be the rule.

No I don't think it should and have patches that drop the mali-midgard from
the example + rk3288 dtsi to not confuse people:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9832811/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9832807/


Devicetree supposedly should not contain wildcards and without knowing
for real that all of then in fact are compatible we should not assume so
[and that's hard to check with all the secrecy :-) ] . Using the real name
(tXXX) sounds nice enough.
