Besides, adding -gsw would make it inconsistent with the existing
matching compatible strings. While it's not ideal to have the same
top-level SoC compatible and having another sub-node within that SoC's
DTS have the same compatible, given this would be break backwards
compatibility, cannot you stay with what is defined today?
