Hi Rob, I have a second thought on this.
What MFD SMPro driver does is only to expose the register map for child
drivers to use. Child drivers are capable to handle the specific details
among SMPro version if necessary. Hence, even though we address the
SMPro specific here (ie: by using specific compatible string),
eventually, regardless of any version the SMPro might be, the MFD SMPro
driver still just to expose the register map for its child drivers.
So, if that makes sense, I'd like to keep the "ampere,smpro" as
compatible string.
