That's Sergio's current branch, before he sends out a new version of the 
patch series. So that's the current solution, having 
mediatek,mt7620-sysc and ralink,mt7620a-sysc on the schema.

No no, I only want to do this on schemas that concern the MTMIPS 
platform. It doesn't concern the MediaTek ARM schemas.

The idea is to make every compatible string of MTMIPS to have the ralink 
prefix so it's not mediatek on some schemas and ralink on others. Simpler.
