It is not obvious to me. I doubt it is obvious to others. Commit msg
does not say they are compatible and usually difference in
clocks/interconnects is not reason of incompatibility. So why suddenly
here we would understand it differently?

I proposed separate binding file. But your commit msg suggested these
are compatible. Lack of driver change is also proof of that.

I don't want to keep discussing this because it does not lead to
anywhere. We keep repeating the same.

You just affected all the DTS everywhere. It's your task to check all
DTS everywhere. Not ours.
