We already have an exactly identical quirk for the A0 I2C issue, in the
same file, right above the quirk Ezequiel is adding here. So using the
same strategy for both cases would be nice.

For minor differences such as SoC stepping, I personally prefer to not
have separate Device Trees. We already have many of them, for each
variant of the various SOCs. If we add the different steppings, it's
going to be even more complicated. Also, there will be a new iteration
of the Armada 375 DB with an A0 chip, which does not have the Z1 bug.

Best regards,

Thomas
