It's only mandatory for SoCs covered by those values - admittedly all SoCs supported by the driver at this time. But that is an artifact of the implementation rather than a property of the binding. In any case I think is already described sufficiently in: When compatible with the generic version, nodes must list the SoC-specific version corresponding to the platform first followed by the generic version. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7743" for the R8A7743 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7790" for the R8A7790 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7791" for the R8A7791 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7792" for the R8A7792 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7793" for the R8A7793 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-r8a7794" for the R8A7794 SoC. > >>>+ - "renesas,etheravb-rcar-gen2" as a fallback for the above > >>>+ R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G1 devices. > [...] > > WBR, Sergei >
