I can accept that, but I think that you'd better make your device tree
compatibility string *not* generic. Name it by the first NPx SoC or
perfectly compatible SoC family that has this configuration and you'll
be able to make the NP(x+1) compatible with it.

It has proven to be much more future proof and even if in the early days
of DT on ARM we accepted some binding with generic strings like this one
below, It has proven to be a mistake.
