And I would add, as it is in this case: there are multiple instantiation of
the RIIC in RZ/G3S SoC. RIIC 0 and 1 supports FMP, RIIC 2 and 3 does not.

For all RIICs (0, 1, 2, 3) we use the same compatible (as all are part of
the same SoC). How to do the match b/w DT RIIC channel and driver with the
solution you propose w/o hardcoding some RIIC channel data in the driver?
