Would it be better to name this "allwinner,sun4i-a10-pll2-clk" instead of "allwinner,sun4i-a10-b-pll2-clk"? By encoding the b in it everyone is going to wonder what to do on the 'c' revision which is the most common revision.
Not really, the way we works usually is that the compatible is the one from the first SoC that implemented that IP. If the rev C has the same IP than rev B, then we're using the rev B compatible.
The revision based rename would then be from "allwinner,sun4i-a10-pll2-clk" to "allwinner,sun4i-a10-a-pll2-clk".
Though, I'd agree with you. We should have a single compatible in the DT, a generic one, that would trigger the auto-detection, and might change it to the rev A one, but the rev B doesn't make much sense.
