Doesn't matter what's in the driver, it can use this compatible.

But experience has shown that a compatible for a licensed IP is never 
sufficient. There are versions of the blocks, configuration options, and 
integration differences.

I'm not asking you to add any SoC specific compatible now unless you 
are working on a particular SoC, but just state one is needed.
