> [Alice Guo] Compatible with old existing DTBs, I did not find a good solution. I want to use soc device to match this driver. Do you have some suggestions? Thank you.

How the change above (returning imx8mm_soc_uid error value) and few
others similar are related to topic mentioned in commit msg?

The patch should implement only one thing (one feature or fix one bug)
and then it is easier to manage ABI breakage.

For the ABI breakage, the usual solution is to support old DTBs.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
