There is no > general category name for "R329 and D1." Yeah, this is not ideal, but the issue is that nothing is telling us whether or not it will support *only* the R329 and D1. Chances are it's going to be featured in a number of other SoCs in the future, so if we were to have the entire list of supported SoCs in the Kconfig symbol and driver name, we'd have to always change them everytime a new SoC support is introduced. It would be a pain, and it's pretty much guaranteed that someone is going to forget at some point. To mitigate this, we took the approach to use the same semantic than the DT compatible: the driver name doesn't really define the list of all the SoCs supported but matches every SoC (more or less) compatible with that SoC. If you want to have the entire list in the Kconfig help though, I don't see anything wrong with that. Even if it goes unmaintained, it wouldn't really be a big deal. Maxime
