It is not about DT validation. It is about passing a correct DT. The
file can come up from the kernel. It can come from the older kernel.
OR it can come from the vendor. Or it even might be being a part of
firmware flashed into the device.
So we can not assume that the DT is correct just because the in-kernel
DT passes YAML validation.

So, as I wrote, the whole patchset needs much more care about compatibility.

We should not update compatible strings just because the driver
changes. Compat strings describe the hardware, not the Linux point of
view on it.
