I'm a little concerned that 'sram' is just too generic for a compatible value and we may end up needing a blacklist of systems where the sram device should not be driven with this driver. If you can think of a more descriptive name here then I would use it. However, I'm not worried about it enough to nak it and the rest of the series looks fine.
