Current description of the compatible property for at24 is quite vague. Specify an exact list of accepted compatibles and document the - now deprecated - strings which were previously used in device tree files.
+ will still work, but are now deprecated.
I would rather reprase it to make people not think that's okay to still use deprecated strings. Something like "are now deprecated, please do not use in new code or drivers". Supporting old but deprecated is implied by DT globally.
