I think that the best way to do this is to better organize the compatibles
per-hardware, here... or the compatibles list will eventually grow out of
control for little reason.

Since "IPM" is a new SPI controller IP, I would expect more and more MediaTek
SoCs using it in the future, so here's my proposal:

- Add a generic (const) compatible "mediatek,spi-ipm" to describe the hardware
- Add an enumeration with "mediatek,mt7986-spi-ipm" as the only member, as to
   prepare this binding for the future.
- Single and quad mode can be expressed with generic SPI bindings!

Specifically, you can express that with "spi-rx-bus-width" for SPI_RX_{....}
and "spi-tx-bus-width" for SPI_TX_{....}, so you don't need different compatibles
for "mediatek,mt7986-spi-single" and "mediatek,mt7896-spi-quad".

Fast example:

spi@...45678 {
     compatible = "mediatek,mt7986-spi-ipm", "mediatek,spi-ipm";
     reg = <....>
     /* Quad mode */
     spi-rx-bus-width = <4>;
     spi-tx-bus-width = <4>;

     .... etc ....
}
