Hi folks,

Just a quick fix for the Apple mailbox compatible. Similar to [1], we
intend to use SoC-specific compatibles only for potential quirks, and
rely on a generic compatible to allow for forward-compatibility as long
as things don't break.

I vaguely remember a brief discussion about this and I think we thought about
using "t6000-asc", "t8103-asc" in this case since this specific mailbox hardware
was only introduced in the M1. I think Apple calls this variant ascwrap-v4
and m3wrap-v2.

Doing it like you suggested is also fine with me though.

I think I remember that one... seems this is ascwrap-v4 in t8101 too, so not quite introduced with M1. But that one doesn't have m3wraps (or doesn't use them).

Since Apple do have some kind of sane versioning for these it seems, maybe we should follow their numbers and call them apple,asc-mailbox-v4 and apple,m3-mailbox-v2?
