OK, will fix in v2.

Those defines are used by drivers for MFD cells, because,
unfortunately, communication protocols differ for between hardware
versions. So instead of having, say, "zii,rave-sp-watchdog-rdu2",
"zii,rave-sp-watchdog-rdu1", etc. I use "zii,rave-sp-watchdog" and
"compatible" from MFD parent to determine what protocol to use. I am
happy to change that if that doesn't seem like a good idea.

Thanks,
