Some additional reduction could be possible by only keeping the nodes for

If this can be done after building the U-Boot (or SPL) ELF, can't it
just be done by doing 'grep -a' on that? Or, probably a little more
efficient, running "strings | grep -E '^[a-zA-Z0-9,._-]*' | sort -u",
slurping in the output of that in a python set() and just looking there.
Thanks for your review and suggestion. Your approach is interesting,
however, I wonder, won't we get a lot of strings which are not
compatible strings? How could be filter this list to only include those
strings that are compatible strings?
Also the idea if parsing config and Makefiles would be useful to only
process file drivers which are going to be used, and prepare for
instance the compatible string list as described in "[RFC 3/4] dtoc: add
support for generate stuct udevice_id", which can be found in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20200619211140.5081-4-walter.loz...@collabora.com/
Do you think we can handle this in some other more efficient way?

Walter
