OK. I will try this out. Thanks for the tip.

AFAIK TI SoCs don't have different compatibles for different revisions of the same SoC.
My understanding is that the SoC is the same so compatible shouldn't change. Just that there were some
hardware fixes and some quirks may not be needed anymore.
Nishanth,
Could you please chime in on why SoC revisions can't use different compatibles?
