Compatible strings are used to help the driver find the chip ID/version
register for each chip family. After that, the driver can setup the
switch accordingly. Keep only the first supported model for each family
as a compatible string and reference other chip models in the
description.

The removed compatible strings have never been used in a released kernel.
