Please note the submitted driver absolutely don't care which of the five SoCs it is.True.

In other words, all these SoCs have the same controller.False :)
OK, so the controllers are not identical, but same enough to have a common driver? Is the driver not tested enough or are you planning to add more features?

So its about have just one compatible right now, and add more if some new SoC comes with a variation of the controller.True. The driver will be changed in this case, unfortunately the bindings are not so volatile.
The volatility of the bindings will be same when you add a new SoC compatible ;) And you must add to bindings+driver, or the same h/w and same driver won't work for your new platform.
