IIUC, the way this works is along these lines:

* The SFC driver can only care for the rockchip,sfc compatible string
and, if suitable, use the IP version register mentioned by Kever [1].

* The bindings doc specifies both the SoC-specific and the generic one
with:

      - items:
          - enum:
              - rockchip,px30-sfc
          - const: rockchip,sfc

* The device tree lists both as well:

compatible = "rockchip,px30-sfc", "rockchip,sfc";

This can apply to all IP cores really; and will allow some
compatibility between the downstream/vendor device tree
and upstream.

This scheme is indeed more convoluted than just
picking any SoC name for the compatible string, and
use that compatible string for all the SoCs (given they
are all compatible, again as per [1]).

IOW, you only have "rockchip,px30-sfc" in the bindings,
in the devicetree files and in the driver.
