So drivers are compatible or hardware? We talk about hardware, not
drivers...

Different programming interface, so not compatible.

Different programming interface, so not compatible.

I don't care. We do not talk about drivers.

Do you understand what does it mean "compatible" in DT?

Don't care. Driver stuff.
