Ok thank you.

All the features that are supported by the wtd drivers use the same
register offsets on the xrx100 and xrx200 SoCs. I added the xrx200 only
if in the future we find some mismatch and I want to be able to use some
other code for this SoC.
In this case I would then list complete compatible line which should be
used for this SoC in the description of the compatible line, is that
correct?

I will update the patch, this makes sense to me.
