But a compatible string can't be checked at compile time, can it?

The point is that at the least the Foundation compiles and ships a separate
kernel for each of the three platforms BCM2835, BCM2837, BCM2711.  It's
unnecessary to check whether an interrupt was actually raised if we *know*
in advance that it's not shared (as is the case with kernels compiled for
BCM2835 and BCM2837).
