What is checkpatch.pl trying to tell me here?

checpkatch.pl is confused by 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/l2cache.txt which says

- compatible    : Should include "fsl,chip-l2-cache-controller" and "cache"
                   where chip is the processor (bsc9132, npc8572 etc.)

So none of the fsl cache controllers pass the checkpatch.pl test.

Hmm, so others do list those names explicitly. For example:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/allwinner,sunxi-pinctrl.txt

And the patch that added that check to cp:

bff5da433525 ("checkpatch: add DT compatible string documentation checks")

is basically to enforce explicit compatible names.

So I'd like to have an ACK from a PPC maintainer here first before I
apply this.

It's fine with me:

Chris if you want to send a patch to add the compatible string to the
l2cache.txt I would merge that, but honestly it doesn't achieve much
other than possibly catching a typo in the compatible name.

cheers
