Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] dt-bindings: net: dsa: realtek: cleanup compatible strings

From: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca <[email-masked]>

Compatible strings are used to help the driver find the chip ID/version
register for each chip family. After that, the driver can setup the
switch accordingly. Keep only the first supported model for each family
as a compatible string and reference other chip models in the
description.

The removed compatible strings have never been used in a released kernel.

+  The compatible string is only used to identify which (silicon) family the
+  switch belongs to. Roughly speaking, a family is any set of Realtek switches
+  whose chip identification register(s) have a common location and semantics.
+  The different models in a given family can be automatically disambiguated by
+  parsing the chip identification register(s) according to the given family,
+  avoiding the need for a unique compatible string for each model.
