Yes, unless the DT maintainers have shot the idea down, I'd prefer to
see a separate property. With the method you currently have, we'll have
to change the compatible when the IP _hasn't_ changed, just because the
SoC was wired differently.

We could trigger on the SoC compatible and maintain a table, but that
seems overly hacky when the dt is supposed to describe the hardware.

thx,

Jason.
