Hi Rob,
How about like this:
diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/fsl-quadspi.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/fsl-quadspi.txt

Thanks for your review.

Well, things sneak in without getting documented. Also, lots of PPC
bindings predate our documentation requirement.

This doesn't make sense to me. Typically, we see something like:

Should be one of:
  "vendor,soc1-device"
  "vendor,soc2-device"
Followed by "vendor,soc0-device"

Sometime the last entry is a generic string. Here soc0 is the first
SOC with the block. Later SOCs have "the same" block, but new
compatible strings in addition in case any changes or errata are found
that the driver needs to deal with.
