dt-bindings: at24: consistently document the compatible property

Current description of the compatible property for at24 is quite vague.

State explicitly that any "<manufacturer>,<model>" pair is accepted as
long as a correct fallback is used for non-atmel chips.

Required properties:
- compatible : should be "<manufacturer>,<type>", like these:
- compatible: Must be a "<manufacturer>,<model>" pair. The following <model>
values are supported (assuming "atmel" as manufacturer):
"atmel,24c00", "atmel,24c01", "atmel,24c02", "atmel,24c04",
"atmel,24c08", "atmel,24c16", "atmel,24c32", "atmel,24c64",
"atmel,24c128", "atmel,24c256", "atmel,24c512", "atmel,24c1024"
"atmel,24c00",
"atmel,24c01",
"atmel,24c02",
"atmel,spd",
"atmel,24c04",
"atmel,24c08",
"atmel,24c16",
"atmel,24c32",
"atmel,24c64",
"atmel,24c128",
"atmel,24c256",
"atmel,24c512",
"atmel,24c1024",
"catalyst,24c32"
If <manufacturer> is not "atmel", then a fallback must be used
with the same <model> and "atmel" as manufacturer.
"microchip,24c128"
Example:
compatible = "microchip,24c128", "atmel,24c128";
"ramtron,24c64"
Supported manufacturers are:
"renesas,r1ex24002"
"catalyst",
"microchip",
"ramtron",
"renesas",
"nxp",
"st",
The following manufacturers values have been deprecated:
"at", "at24"
Some vendors use different model names for chips which are just
variants of the above. Known such exceptions are listed below:
If there is no specific driver for <manufacturer>, a generic
device with <type> and manufacturer "atmel" should be used.
Possible types are:
"24c00", "24c01", "24c02", "24c04", "24c08", "24c16", "24c32", "24c64",
"24c128", "24c256", "24c512", "24c1024", "spd"
"renesas,r1ex24002" - the fallback is "atmel,24c02"
