This doesn't seem right to document here. If anything you might want
to have a table of more-specific-compatibles for specific
implementations, but "arm,scpi" should still be the compatible of the
node (just not the most specific one).

I completely agree with you and I was pushing for a generic "arm,legacy-scpi"
compatible until this binding was acked by Rob.

Just because I ack something, that doesn't mean don't review or
comment on it further.

Anyways, I will add the generic compatible and post the changes.

Also, documenting it here indiciates that non-amlogic implementations
can/should use that compatible, which is misleading.

Agreed, it's better to keep them out of this generic binding document.

Maybe you'd be better of with a meson-specific document that refers to
these but with different compatible values.

Come to think of it, the Juno-specific one maybe shouldn't be in
arm,scpi at all, since that adds confusion here.

It's somewhat confusing that ARM is both a platform, architecture and
in some cases implementer of specific systems. :)

Sorry for that, I will move all juno specific references in the binding
out of this document(except the examples, which I assume should be fine)

Same here. It won't scale if all vendors are expected to add an entry here.

I will rework the patches to address the concerns as I too did share same
concern.

Guess I was optimistic that *every* platform wouldn't be different in
some way. I should know better by now...
