Hi,

I'm a bit late to the party, sorry for that.

Even if we don't spot things, since we have the stable DT now, if we
ever had that compatible in the DT from day 1, it's much easier to
deal with.

I'd really like to have that pattern for all the IPs even if we didn't
spot any issue, since we can't really say that the datasheet are
complete, and one can always make a mistake and overlook something.

I'm fine with this version, and can apply it as is if we all agree.
