> ExynosAutov9 reuses several devices from older designs, thus historically we
> kept the old (block's) compatible only. This works fine and there is no bug
> here, however guidelines expressed in
> Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-bindings.rst state that:
> 1. Compatibles should be specific.
> 2. We should add new compatibles in case of bugs or features.
>
> Add compatibles specific to ExynosAutov9 in front of all old-SoC-like
> compatibles. This will also help reviews of new code using existing DTS as
> template. No functional impact on Linux drivers behavior.
