Rob, I seem to remember that some drivers match the top-level compatible against a list of SoC variants to detect SoC-dependent features in a generic IP block. Is that something you'd prefer instead?

Specifying a number like 64/32/16 is done in for some other properties I dismissed that because what this is about how we interpret a pin-strapping option. I guess "max-width = <64>;" and "max-width = <32>"; would achieve the same. > Or your compatible string should just be specific enough to know the > width. I decided against a new compatible sting that because the IP block really is the Armada-XP one and the existing compatible string is used in other places (using multiple compatible strings would solve that). I'm not too fussed which of the 3 options are used. Is there any particular preference?

Or your compatible string should just be specific enough to know the width. Rob
