Hi all,

checkpatch.pl notes that DT compatible string vendor "mips" appears un-documented.

On the one hand there are several users of this vendor string:

    linux$ git grep \"mips,
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mips/img/xilfpga.txt: - compatible: Must be "mips,m14Kc".
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mips/img/xilfpga.txt:                 compatible = "mips,m14Kc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/lantiq/danube.dtsi:                  compatible = "mips,mips24Kc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/qca/ar9132.dtsi:                     compatible = "mips,mips24Kc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7620a.dtsi:                 compatible = "mips,mips24KEc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/rt2880.dtsi:                  compatible = "mips,mips4KEc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/rt3050.dtsi:                  compatible = "mips,mips24KEc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/rt3883.dtsi:                  compatible = "mips,mips74Kc";
    arch/mips/boot/dts/xilfpga/microAptiv.dtsi:                     compatible = "mips,m14Kc";

On the other hand we already have the "mti" vendor string:

    linux$ grep MIPS Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt
    mti    Imagination Technologies Ltd. (formerly MIPS Technologies Inc.)

Can we add an another one vendor string for MIPS?

Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
