Hans can you add:

compatible = "cortina,gemini-fotg", "faraday,fotg210-hcd" or something
as composite compatible for our controller?

It's OK for the driver to only match on the latter for now, but for the
future it's nice for the driver to know what silicon it is on.

This is what I've done for most other Cortina/Gemini stuff.

Yours,
