If that happens in the future, we should define new compatible string
for that revision.  "For new devices, the DT binding should always
provide unique compatible strings that allow the use of
of_match_node() instead." quoted from soc_device_match().

If there is new problem found on old SoCs without unique compatible
string, we could then use this soc_device_match() mechanism.
