All the flexcom nodes from all flexcom capable SoCs (including SAMA7G5)
have the same compatible introduced by Mihai.

I don't like the idea of updating only the DTSes, either update all DTSes
and documentation or do it as it is already done (with sama5d2 compatible).

I agree, and DTSes should also be updated along with documentation.

With this we can go forward with this patch and avoid conflicting with work
that is currently in progress for flexcom.
