Right, if all implementations are going to be identical (modulo the
riscv,ndev) allowing thead,c900-plic in isolation makes sense to me.
I had a bit of a check in the history & it looks like there was no 
explanation given for why the D1 needed a specific compatible (although
there's no harm in having one in case something comes up in the future
that'd require special handling for a given implementation).
