Add compatible string for the interrupt steering controller used in NXP
S32N79 SoC.

The S32N79 SoC differs from the i.MX version by not implementing the
CHANCTRL register, but otherwise maintains the same programming model and
register layout.

So that should be part of enum with the first entry.

Hello Krzysztof,

Thanks for your review. Regarding this change, I was thinking since 
S32N79 irqsteer does not implement the 'CHANCTRL' register, it should 
not fallback to 'fsl,imx-irqsteer'. If the driver were to match on the 
fallback compatible, it would attempt to write to the non-existent 
CHANCTRL register.

Am I wrong?

Best regards,
Ciprian
