I think it depends on how backwards/forwards compatible it's going to
be? If new kernel + old DT works then that's all that's "required",
right? Old kernel + new DT isn't going to work, but that's not required
AFAIU.

Yah. Per the discussion on [1], I think I'd rather we avoided the single
c900-plic. Either a SoC-specific value, or "something" involving the
"openplic" naming is needed here.
