I'm unsure about what a "fallback of compatible device" is.
But from what I can gather, you'd have me write the dts as:

dpi@xxx {
	compatible = "mediatek,mt8195-dpi", "mediatek,mt2701-dpi";
	...
}

so that the mtk_dpi driver will use the specific mt8195 dpi config and
the mtk_drm driver will fallback to mt2701 to find the compatible it needs.

Would you like me to use this pattern for all the other compatibles declared
in the mtk_ddp_comp_ids array in separate patches?

Thx,
Guillaume.
