This documentation does not help much :( It should be on the lines of:

compatible: value should be "ti,am33xx-tilcdc" for AM335x based boards
	    value should be "ti,da850-tilcdc" for DA850/AM18x/OMAP-L138
	    based boards

There are many existing examples of the way compatible strings are
documented. You can take a look at them too. Also, since you are
introducing a new device-tree compatible, please keep the devicetree
list and maintainers in CC too. I don't think it shows up in
get_maintainer.pl, so you will have to remember to do it.

Thanks,
Sekhar
