How this is supposed to be done also is sometimes confusing for me :-)

But I don't think that specifying the "fallbacks" is part of the binding at 
all, when the binding really is done in a soc-specific way.  For example 
following the suggestion of the dt-maintainers at the time we're specifying 
the uarts as

	compatible = "rockchip,rk3288-uart", "snps,dw-apb-uart"

as a measure to use a more-special driver if there is ever the need for it. 
But here the "snps,dw-apb-uart" actually is a superset (a more generic 
implementation), while in the usb-uart-case

We already have the alternative for the usb-phys in the devicetree, but I 
still don't think that this alternative is part of the binding itself :-)
