No driver data suggests device is backwards compatible. Commit msg
suggests not, so that's confusing.

The LPTimer PWM driver takes benefit of the MFD parent driver to feed in
data, e.g. 'num_cc_chans'. Number of channels is now variable, on
This means this ID table is useless. You do the matching via parent
device, so stop growing the table and call it deprecated or something.

STM32MP25 (e.g. not a single channel). But it can't be hard-coded as
compatible data. (there's only 1 channel on earlier LP Timer hardware
revision).

The hardware controller is a bit different, hence the new compatible
If it works with old compatible, it's an easy proof that it is
compatible, so please counter argument that with something specific.
Ack, I'll drop the "st,stm32mp25-pwm-lp" compatible, as match through
the parent device is achieved here.
Alternatively, reading directly the hardware configuration register
could be used to retrieve the 'num_cc_chans'.

Thanks for reviewing,
Best regards,
Fabrice
What is different that driver cannot work with new device using old
interface or old features?
