Marc Zyngier complained  on v2 about the churn from adding compatible
strings for identical components, and I kinda see his point.

I agree that using the 'sdm845' compatible string for sc7180 is odd too.
Maybe we should introduce SoC independent compatible strings for IP blocks
that are shared across multiple SoCs? If differentiation is needed SoC
specific strings can be added.
