Sure. You can make it then:

	 * Do not grow the list for compatible devices. Instead use
	 * qcom,sdm845-gpi-dma (for ee_offset = 0x0).

And my patch will just change one line.

We can also keep it like:

	 * Do not grow the list for compatible devices. Instead use
	 * proper fallback compatibles.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
