A single compatible for 3 devices is highly suspect. What is
different between these devices?
The maximum supported current is different.

-1A: 150A

Programming is exactly the same, which is why I had asked the submitter to use
a single compatible property. Sorry for that if it is inappropriate.
Is there some guidance explaining when to use a single vs. multiple compatible
properties for different chip variants ?
TBH, I'm biased and a bit paranoid, so I'd probably give them all
compatibles and set one of them as a fallback. If the programming model
Sometimes compatibles have been rejected because a new chip variant is fully
compatible with an existing one. Now you are doing the opposite. A document
providing reliable guidance one way or the other would really be useful.
