If newer implementations are 'the same', then they should have a
fallback compatible to the existing one that is the same and no driver
change is needed. If the differences are board or instance (within an
SoC) specific, then a DT property would be appropriate.

3rd party IP is generally not any different. SoC vendors manage to
make their implementations unique...
