Yes,

For now, strictly speaking, QorIQ pressors belong to Power Architecture
and Layerscape processor (LS1012A, LS1021A, LS1043A, LS1046A, LS1088A,
LS2088A, LX2160A, etc) belong to Arm Architecture

Although they are integrated the same GPIO controller IP with
minor difference (endian perspective), it would be find to use
SoC specific compatible + "qoriq-gpio" to make it work for all
Layerscape platforms (with "little-endian" accordingly).

But for mpc8xxx_gpio_ids, I think it would not be necessary
to list all LS/LX compatible strings. what do you say?

Ran
