the rules is to put the first soc that use the ip in the compatible
as st,sti7100-scc-i2c

Ok. There are no plans to upstream the SH4 platforms, it will only 
remains in stlinux.com.
Maybe I can set the first ARM platform (STiH415)?
That would give st,stih415-ssc-i2c.

NAK, for st,stih415-ssc-i2c naming.

IMO, this makes sense when the same IP integration done on different SOC
changes slightly/very differently.

But in this case the "comms" IP remains unchanged across all the SOCs.

I would still prefer "st,comms-ssc-i2c", allowing a single device driver
to match against several SoCs. ST "comms" IP it is integrated across all
the STi series of SoCs, so we don't want to add new entry in compatible
for every new SOC.

you never need this you always the first SoC that's all

see other bindings on at91 as example sorry NACK

I'm guessing that using the first SoC is an I2C'isum.

Guys, if you don't want to be too specific, just make it as generic as
possible whilest still using the SoC as a POR: st,stih41x-ssc-i2c will
do for now, as it covers all current bases.

except this is wrong the IP is used on much older SoC than the recent ARM ones

and the DT so please respect the rule first SoC used on

Best Regards,
