Current 'compatible' string is "silabs,wfx-spi" (for now, it is the
same for out-of-tree and in-tree driver). And indeed, "wfx" does not
names a chip.
The three chips currently supported are wf200, wf200s and wfm200. Since
the driver provides DT bindings for SPI and SDIO buses, I think we
have to keep the "-spi" suffix. So compatible strings should be
"silabs,wf200-spi", "silabs,wf200s-spi" and "silabs,wfm200-spi", right?
So we could fix the semantic of gpios-reset and keep the backward
compatibility. Looks perfect.
I can make this change in my next pull-request (but if you submit a
patch, it will probably go faster :) ).
