Whatever you all decide on, note that "sifive,<block><num>" is a SiFive thing (as it is documented) and <num> corresponds to tag of the IP implmentation (at least it is supposed to). So you can't just copy that with 'riscv,<block><num>' unless you have the same IP versioning and update the documentation. Using a spec version is fine, but not standalone. You need implementation specific compatible too because no one perfectly implements any spec and/or there details a spec may not cover. Rob
