I think it's fine for a file of name nvidia,tegra20-pwm.txt to document
both Tegra20 and Tegra30; the file is named after the first/earliest
compatible value it documents. The issue is more that /if/ say TegraNN
needs a different binding, I want the naming consistent (e.g.
nvidia,tegraNN-pwm.txt) rather than having the old file with one style
and the new file named using a different style.
