Maybe you should just state what the width is.

Specifying a number like 64/32/16 is done in for some other properties I 
dismissed that because what this is about how we interpret a 
pin-strapping option. I guess "max-width = <64>;" and "max-width = 
<32>"; would achieve the same.

Or your compatible string should just be specific enough to know the
width.

I decided against a new compatible sting that because the IP block 
really is the Armada-XP one and the existing compatible string is used 
in other places (using multiple compatible strings would solve that).

I'm not too fussed which of the 3 options are used. Is there any 
particular preference?

I'd prefer a specific compatible string, as it would avoid adding even
more properties if further difference turn up.

Rob, I seem to remember that some drivers match the top-level
compatible against a list of SoC variants to detect SoC-dependent
features in a generic IP block. Is that something you'd prefer instead?
