We could also continue using

	qcom,qmp-pcie-phy.yaml

for the latest generic binding were new devices should be added and
rename the "deprecated" ones after one of the compatibles to make it
sound less generic.

But I get your point.

Heh. Ok.

Yeah, that's what I was alluding too. As soon you add one more SoC to
the same document, the common part is no longer

	qcom,sc8280xp-qmp-pcie-phy

but rather

	qcom,qmp-pcie-phy
