Why would you do this?
What benefit does it give to patch the of_node to have a more
specific
compatible?
Some of the child device drivers have to know PMIC chip revision.
So your plan is to have a strstr(parent->compatible, "-v2") there?

Could you be a little bit more elaborate on what you're trying to do
and which child devices that might be?

Bjorn
