Why is this an enum rather than const? What other entries are we going
to add here in the near future?

> +              - const: riscv,cpu-intc

My follow-up question, if my original question on the v2 series had been
answered was going to be about how generic the "andestech,cpu-intc"
compatible is.

Having a cpu-specific compatible in addition to "andestech,cpu-intc"
one makes sense to me, so that we can differentiate between
implementations/integrations of this intc, especially if Andes have no
plans to move to the standard implementation.

Cheers,
Conor.
