[PATCH] dt-bindings: qcom: readme: document preferred compatible naming

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Fri Jul 01 2022 - 03:47:21 EST


Compatibles can come in two formats. Either "vendor,ip-soc" or
"vendor,soc-ip". Qualcomm bindings were mixing both of usages, so add a
readme file documenting preferred policy.

+Qualcomm SoC compatibles naming convention
+==========================================
+1. When adding new compatibles in new bindings, use the format:
+ ::
+
+ qcom,SoC-IP
+
+ For example:
+ ::
+
+ qcom,sdm845-llcc-bwmon
+
+2. When adding new compatibles to existing bindings, use the format
+ in the existing binding, even if it contradicts the above.
