I am confused: if the 2 controllers are the same, why do we need the
new compat string, at least in the driver? Shouldn't DTS simply use
"google,cros-ec-spi", or maybe both (compatible = "ni,cros-ec-spi",
"google,cros-ec-spi")?

DT folks, is there clear instructions somewhere as to when
introduction of new compatible is warranted, along with the rules of
how to settle on common fallback (i.e. how to make sure that, let's
say, Linux, U-boot and FreeBSD use the same fallback compatible for
the same series of devices)?
