The node should have a compatible
property which is sufficient to select the right bridge driver.

Yeah, I defined a compatible = "mai,articias"; property in the pci
node.
Are there any naming conventions (maybe lower case only)?

It's conventional for the part behind the comma to be lower-case
only, yes.  There are more stringent rules for the part before
the comma (the manufacturer part).  What is "mai"?

mai logic (some mentor arc derivative i think, ma stands for mentor 
arc)
was the firm who produced the articia northbridge.

It should either be "00009D2,articia-s" (using the OUI) or
"mai-logic,articia-s", then.

The Articia S
northbridge was known to be defective, and i am unsure if mai survived
it or something.

It seems they didn't.
