What I meant is, usually compatibles go like this (in order):

"samsung,exynos<soc>-<function>-sysreg", "samsung,exynos<soc>-sysreg", 
"syscon"

But the deprecated item had its compatibles like this:

"samsung,exynos<soc>-sysreg", "syscon"

That is what I meant by "generic". It doesn't mention <function>.

And my additions adhere to the former. So does [1], [2], and [3]. None 
are
deprecated.
