It seems that everybody has misunderstood my email. Let me try to

I'm not saying to replace the sdm845 qspi compatible with a generic one.
I'm recommending that a generic one is added in addition to the SoC
specific one. That way, we get to put the generic compatible string in
the driver and not need to update the driver compatible string array
each time a new SoC comes out with a new compatible string.
If it turns out later that we need to handle some bug in that specific
SoC compatible string then we're good to go and we can handle it by
matching the more specific SoC version compatible.
Right, the policy is generally not to have these strings at all.  IIRC
the argument is that they tend to either become unclear as the marketing
and technology changes.
