I agree for new version of HW, anyway..

... you're right here version can be determined at runtime.

But, since both are compatible, there's no primary part number, right?

so why use "qcom,wcd9395-codec", "qcom,wcd9390-codec"
when "qcom,wcd9390-codec", "qcom,wcd9395-codec" should
also be valid, so in this can why not use :
"qcom,wcd9390-codec", "qcom,wcd939x-codec"
or
"qcom,wcd9395-codec", "qcom,wcd939x-codec"

?
