So the unexpected abnormality here is that even though this device is
instantiated by dt, the driver doesn't provide any compatibles.
Either my expectation is wrong, then 67d02a1bbb33455 should be reverted
Your expectation is wrong.  AMBA primecell devices have hardware IDs
and are matched to their drivers by those IDs.  Just like PCI.
pci devices don't appear in dt, do they? I don't see the connection
between amba devices and platform devices, see my other mail in this
thread for some more details.
They both have hardware IDs, and they are both matched via those hardware
IDs.

Your change has introduced a regression and is therefore wrong.
