The PCIe controller can be implemented in > different SoCs. Could you please clarify? All the features, bugs, and integration will be exactly the same on all SoCs and you will never need to distinguish? This is standard convention for compatible strings and how you avoid updating the DT (part of firmware) when you find some difference the OS needs to handle down the road. If the next SoC is 'the same', then you do: compatible = "amazon,newsoc-pcie", "amazon,oldsoc-pcie"; Rob
