Agree with Samuel comment. Indeed there is no point in adding the
vendor-specific device-name supported in the driver if the fallback
compatible works as-is.

>From that perspective we shouldn't have merged in the patch adding the
Renesas RZN1 SPI device name support, since the generic fallback
compatible works for it. On the contrary the Microsemi Ocelot/Jaguar2
SoC SPI DT-bindings shouldn't have been defined with the generic
fallback compatible since should the device be bound via the generic
name it won't work as expected.

Although, it's better to hear out what Rob, Conor or Krzysztof think
about this.
