The name of the SoC is Exynos7 and so all these patches are using
Exynos7 in dt compatible string and file names. If there are any
variants of Exynos7 SoC in future, support those variants will be
based on what is already merged for Exynos7 SoC. There is no specific
generalization targeted in this series by using Exynos7 name.

Thanks,
Thomas.
