Update compatible string based on the new bcmbca binding rule

Typo - family

Please explain why breaking the ABI (and users of these DTS_ is acceptable.

This will be largely targeted towards Rafal who supports these kinds of 
devices with an upstream kernel. My understanding is that this is OK 
because we will always ship a DTB matching the Linux kernel, and I 
believe this is true for both the way that William and his group support 
these devices, as well as how OpenWrt, buildroot or other build systems 
envision to support these devices.

Rafal, does that sound about right?

I am fine, just maybe mention it in the commit because it literally
breaks the DTSes.

I assume you considered all possible uses outside of Linux like U-Boot,
BSD etc?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
