It seems the IP version is discoverable, in this case it's perfectly valid
to have a generic compatible along a soc specific compatible.

It has been done and validated multiple times, like for the ARM Mali Bifrost [1]

I'll propose then to add a generic "qcom,crypto" as fallback to
all of those new compatibles and clearly document that this is only
for crypto IP cores versions that have the runtime version discoverable.

We could even add a major version generic fallback compatible like "qcom,crypto-v5" or "qcom,crypto-v5.x"
to differentiate from older crypto devices.
