Ideally that would be the case, unfortunately there is inconsistency in the upstream
dtses, for example (stand after my patch renaming device names):

linksys-wrt1200ac has compatible linksys,caiman,

marvell-armada-385-db-ap -> marvell,a385-db-ap

marvell-armada-3720-db -> marvell,armada-3720-db

marvell-macchiatobin -> marvell,armada8040-mcbin

marvell-armada-8040-db -> marvell,armada8040-db

As You can see this differs a lot. So what would be best approach, following
upstream naming or keep it as is or following upstream where possible?
