But you do not have specifics of mt8195. I wrote it in the beginning.

No, you do not... I checked the driver and there is no single need... or
convince me you need.

Why rewrite? You have all compatibles in place.

You were asked to use fallback. Don't create some fake fallbacks. Use
existing ones.

I don't know what's this but certainly looks odd. Some wild-card
compatible in front (not fallback) and none are documented.

Use fallback of compatible device. That's the common pattern.
Everywhere, Mediatek as well.
