On platforms where the modem DMAs into the BAM-DMUX RX data buffers and

groups available, the per-buffer mappings exhaust the table and inbound
transfers fault.

Add qcom,shikra-bam-dmux as an additional compatible for the Shikra SoC,
paired with the generic qcom,bam-dmux fallback, so the driver can match
on it via its of_device_id table.

IMHO (the DT maintainers might disagree) this is not a different
BAM DMUX hardware block on Shikra, just a different firmware
configuration. I'm sure the existing SoCs also have those XPU blocks,
they just don't make use of it.

Personally, I would rather describe this with an optional "qcom,vmid"
property similar to your bam-dma patch, allowed for all SoCs.
