I'm horribly unfamiliar with openrisc, but compatible strings are
compatible strings. ;-)

Is the *actual* IP block called or1200-pic?  Or is it, eg or1235-pic, and
you're using or1200-pic as a generic catch-all?

Please use the specific IP name without wildcards.  That compatible
string will then be used on that IP and future IP that is compatible
with the original IP.  Once an incompatible change is introduced, then
we'll create a new compatible string, say or1300-pic, or or1237-pic.

When in doubt, be specific.  I don't think the '-rtlsvnXYZ' should be
necessary, though.

thx,

Jason.
