Way too generic. I understand that SoCe will NEVER - and you certify
that - develop a second, different "switch-dsa" model and they call this
one like this?

It is intentionally generic to cover the common basics of all variants and
configurations of the synthesized switch in DSA.
I'm not sure what kind of guarantee I'm supposed to provide here regarding
SoCe. If switch-dsa is already mainline in the future, then a different
compatible will be needed for incompatible new models.

If it is not compatible, it needs a different compatible.

It gets interesting with something you synthesizer, something where
there are a number of different synthesise options. How do you define
compatible? You might want a very specific compatible, for your
synthesise configuration, and a more generic compatible which might
work for other synthesise configurations, but maybe not?
