This patch adds support for APB0 in H3. It seems to be compatible with
earlier SOCs. apb0 gates controls R_ block peripherals (R_PIO, R_IR,
etc).

It seems that the other compatible strings are there for historical
reasons. Why do you need a new one with such a specific name?

It would have been more sensible to add a generic compatible string as
"allwinner,apb-gates", letting the removal of the other strings for a
later patch...

Yeah, it's a good idea, and it's probably time that we move to that.

However, I'd like to keep per-soc and per-clocks compatibles in the
DT, in case we need to protect a clock in the future. That doesn't
prevent to have two compatibles thoughe, the specific and the generic.

So now I'm not sure what you mean. You suggest that I should keep using 
specific (sun8i_h3_apb0) or change to generic (apb-gates) in my patch?
