The current compatible strings for SSD130x I2C controllers contain both an "fb" and "-i2c" suffixes. It seems to indicate that are for a fbdev driver and also that are for devices that can be accessed over an I2C bus.
But a DT is supposed to describe the hardware and not Linux implementation details. So let's deprecate those compatible strings and add new ones that only contain the vendor and device name, without any of these suffixes.
These will just describe the device and can be matched by both I2C and SPI DRM drivers.
