The IP PWR change with STM32MP13 and it is not just a subset

but for the range used by the compatible <0x50001000 0x10>

I agreed that feature are just added.


Other feature are also removed but for next registers (the associated

registers or bits becomes reserved, for PWR_MCUCR for example).


So I can change in binding to support the DT:


compatible = "st,stm32mp1,pwr-reg";

or for STM32MP13:

compatible = "st,stm32mp13-pwr-reg", "st,stm32mp1,pwr-reg";

with

   compatible:
     oneOf:
         - items:
            - const: st,stm32mp1,pwr-reg
         - items:
            - const: st,stm32mp13-pwr-reg
            - const: st,stm32mp1,pwr-reg


But for me this fallback in device tree is a little confusing for PWR.
