Thanks. I had a similar thought on this. So as I have the version string 
in the
second entry "-v(1/2)".
I can use it in driver for matching. So i think  I will change it as below.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

  static const struct of_device_id djtag_of_match[] = {
-       /* for hip05(D02) cpu die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip05-cpu-djtag-v1",
+       /* for hisi djtag-v1 cpu die */
+       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hisi-cpu-djtag-v1",
                 .data = djtag_readwrite_v1 },
-       /* for hip05(D02) io die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip05-io-djtag-v1",
+       /* for hisi djtag-v1 io die */
+       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hisi-io-djtag-v1",
                 .data = djtag_readwrite_v1 },
-       /* for hip06(D03) cpu die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip06-cpu-djtag-v1",
-               .data = djtag_readwrite_v1 },
-       /* for hip06(D03) io die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip06-io-djtag-v2",
-               .data = djtag_readwrite_v2 },
-       /* for hip07(D05) cpu die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip07-cpu-djtag-v2",
+       /* for hisi djtag-v2 cpu die */
+       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hisi-cpu-djtag-v2",
                 .data = djtag_readwrite_v2 },
-       /* for hip07(D05) io die */
-       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hip07-io-djtag-v2",
+       /* for hisi djtag-v2 io die */
+       { .compatible = "hisilicon,hisi-io-djtag-v2",
                 .data = (djtag_readwrite_v2 },
         {},
  };
