Exact name followed by compatible models needs to be
specified in DT node only, right ? (when driver for the
first variant can handle it)
And when additional features of newer IP's has to be
leveraged, new entries can be added in the driver
match table.
First known variant of SoC for DT is da830 (exact name),
hence it was used.
