Hm. From hw design perspective they are not compatible, I think.
But from programming model perspective, partial of i.MX93/8ULP registers
are same as i.MX7ULP, with offset not start from 0.

From programming model, we could say they are compatible.

Then for i.MX95, I could still use "fsl,imx95-gpio", "fsl,imx7ulp-gpio".

Thanks,
Peng.
