No, if it is an AMBA bus, then it is entirely appropriate to declare
it as an amba bus, but to also be compatible with "simple-bus".  In
fact, it would be better to use a compatible string that specifies the
specific implementation of AMBA bus since there are several versions
of the spec.

Don't let Linux's current implementation detail derail what is
considered good practice.
