Two different SoCs, two different compatibles, no problem.
I'm almost certain you previously told me that the firmware changing
could result in a different event ID, but I see no mention of that here.
The commit messages makes it seem like this can be determined by the
compatible, so either give me a commit message that explains why the
compatible is not sufficient or drop the patch.

Why is this needed? It's going to be a reference to itself, right?
Why can't you just reserve a channel in the driver?

Thanks,
