Now that usage of "ADC7" name has been replaced with usage of "ADC5
Gen2" name everywhere, remove the "qcom,spmi-adc7" compatible string.

Nope.  Unless all your dts files are distributed with the kernel, dropping
this breaks anyone who upgrades the kernel against an older firmware...

So even after the rename, you need to keep the deprecated naming around for
the binding side of things.

Yes, I'll drop this patch, will just mark the older name as deprecated.

Thanks,
