This is not scalable. Do we add every new SoC that contains the same controller?
Yes, we do. This is a policy direction from the DT maintainers. If we
ever going to want to validate DTs against the binding, all compatibles
used in the DTs must be specified in the binding.

As we can't really tell if the controller is exactly the same or even
has some SoC integration bugs, we generally add a new compatible for
each SoC to key off any workarounds necessary in the driver without the
need to change the DTs, breaking compatibility.

Lucas
