No there is not. But I don't think there is a "base" model either.
Just multiple SoCs named cv18<something> with apparently the same ADC.

So actually I guess the discussion here is about the wildcard
compatible. It feels strange to me to have no generic compatible either
with a wildcard or with a "base" implementation (because there is
probably none). So I guess the solution here is to just list a single
specific compatible in the end.

Thanks,
