If all DSPI blocks fit here, then maybe: fsl,dspi.yaml

fsl,spi-dspi.yaml is also a bit redundant.

Which looks ok...

The driver matters less (except ABI), but anyway it confirms the case -
fallback is expected always.  Why the fallback should be removed if the
devices are compatible (including halved performance)?
