Implying the feature based on the compatible is how this is normally
done for DT. Though typically we'd put the flag in driver match data
rather than code it like this.

However, I'd assume that FM radio depends on an antenna connection (to
the headphone) which a board may or may not have even though the chip
supports it. For that reason, I'm okay with a boolean here.
