"altera,altera_ps2-3" become the de-facto 'generic' values without any
messiness or ambiguity about what they mean.

Plus, each .dts file still specifies the exact version that is
implemented on the board so that the driver can still fixup
version-specific bugs if any are discovered in the future.

Ahh ok.
That does look like a good solution. I'll try and cook something up for
that.

Hi Walter,

Can we use "kind" and "version" attribute of a sopcinfo file to build the match string? This way, your dts converter won't need update for each new component.

eg,

kind="altera_avalon_spi" version="9.0" ==> "altera","avalon-spi-9.0"

kind="altera_up_avalon_ps2_classic" version="6.1" ==>
  "altera","up-avalon-ps2-classic-6.1"
