Ack, although not in upstream DTS.

It could, but there is no upstream DTS in arm32. It is however in few
old like 8916 which might be running in arm32 mode, so I guess better to
drop it.

They would get their own compatible, thus driver would be changed.  The
depends here is for current driver.

Well, not in upstream, but I get your point.
