This is a list of trivial i2c devices that have simple device tree bindings, consisting only of a compatible field, an address and -possibly an interrupt line. +possibly an interrupt line. The compatible field is used to lookup the +modalias of the driver which will handle the device. The compatible +string may begin with a manufacturer prefix (separated from the +modalias by a comma) which will be stripped off during lookup.
This part of the patch described Linux-specific behaviour, whereas DT bindings should be OS-agnostic. BTW, you didn't CC the DT binding maintainers.
