Just to have some context, this compatible was removed because it was
wrongly added and it doesn't belong at v3.12 and v3.13.

Now the revert is in place in v3.13-rc4 and it should be queued for
v3.12.x, so we are good. Thanks for taking care of it!

On the other side, all the work needed for the driver to work OK on
Armada 370/XP SoC is already in l2-mtd.git master, and I have some fixes
ready to support 2048B pages.

In conclusion, I think it's safe to add the compatible on top of such work,
and queue it for v3.14.

How should I send a patch to re-add this compatible? Do you plan to rebase
l2-mtd.git master on top of v3.13-rc4 or so?
