Per,

I thought we agree they are not HW compatible, it is SW trick to make
Linux driver could work with both with i.MX7ULP compatible.

I will add more information in commit to describe breaking users.
BTW: in linux driver in this patchset, I have added code to support
legacy bindings.

Thanks,
Peng.
