Why not just use the one that has the most information and discard the
others? If your dtb picker for this platform doesn't care about the soc
version, then just don't look at that cell?

Likewise for platform and PMIC, why can't you ignore the cells you don't
care about, rather than having a new property for each variant? Nothing
in this patch explains why multiple variants are required rather than
just dealing with the most informational.

Thanks,
Conor.
