Krzysztof, sorry to bother you - but i don't quite get, what we should
have in compatibles ? 

Should i make an additional fallback compatible like "cirrus,ep-wdt"
and then "compatible" will look like:

properties:
  compatible:
    - items:
      - enum:
        - cirrus,ep9301-wdt
      - const: cirrus,ep-wdt

Or should i describe every ep93xx SoC variant like:

properties:
  compatible:
    - items:
      - enum:
        - cirrus,ep9302-wdt
        - cirrus,ep9307-wdt
        - cirrus,ep9312-wdt
        - cirrus,ep9315-wdt
      - const: cirrus,ep9301-wdt

There are ep9301, ep9302, ep9307, ep9312 and ep9315 SoC variants - all
have the same watchdog and rtc implementation without any difference at
all.

If on of this is true does the same applies to ep9301-rtc and any other
variants where we do have a single compatible ?
