This patchset adds a specific compatible string in the Meson SPIFC driver for
the Amlogic Meson GXBB SoC.

Any particular reason? We could just reuse the meson6 one since there
appear to be no code changes so far.

So Neil is essentially telling me they don't know whether there are any
differences in the IP block, so a separate compatible string was chosen.

No objection from my side, but a general clarification from device tree
maintainers when and when not to would be appreciated. (+ devicetree)

I'm not sure what the "right" way is (Rob?) but I think the usual way is
to add new compatibles when needed.
