Is it better to look up the compatible string, or pass something via
the .data element of the of_device_id table? Probably down to personal
preference?

It's pretty much equivalent, so I'm not sure one is arguably better than
the other. However, checking for the compatible can be pretty cumbersome
when you have to do it repeatedly (like we do in the HDMI controller),
and when you don't it a lot, having a structure associated to the
compatible is also fairly cumbersome.

We're making the same of_device_is_compatible call twice within
vc4_kms_load. Set a flag based on it and check that instead?

Good idea, thanks!
