Most SPI NOR devices do not require a specific compatible, their ID can
in general be discovered with the JEDEC READ ID opcode. In this case,
only the "jedec,spi-nor" generic compatible is expected. Clarify this
information in the compatible description to (i) help device-tree
writers and (ii) prevent further attempts to extend this list with
useless information.
