Thanks for your patch!

    As the features provided by the hardware module differ a lot across the
    various SoC families and members, only SoC-specific compatible values
    are defined.

In fact the only commonalities are the presence of the MODEMR register
(the mode bits differ), and the Watchdog Timer Reset Control Register.
All other registers and bits depend on the SoC's CPU core configuration.

Hence that's why I did not add generic compatible values.
So unless you really need them (from this series, it looks like you
don't?), I wouldn't add them.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
