description:
Some devices will not or should not get a proper Devicetree bindings, but
their compatibles are present in Linux drivers for various reasons.
Examples are devices using ACPI PRP0001 with non-updatable firmware/ACPI
tables or old PowerPC platforms without in-tree DTS.
Following list of devices is an incomplete schema with a goal to pass DT schema
checks on undocumented compatibles but also reject any DTS file using such
un-approved compatible.
Usage of any of following compatibles is not allowed in Devicetree sources,
even if they come from immutable firmware.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
