See my comments on patch 4.

In light of that, it may make sense to support both, so DTS files could
list:

	compatible = "st,stid127-spi-fsm", "st,spi-fsm";

But I'm not really privy to whatever discussion determined that you
needed to deprecate the current binding. If there really are no users of
the current upstream binding, then maybe your current deprecation plan
can work fine.
