NAK

As pointed out this is a property of the hardware and thus you should
derive this property of the hardware from the compatible string.

For example by passing per-variant .data in struct of_device_id.

Unique hardware properties means unique hardware means it should
have a unique compatible string. Otherwise something is wrong
with the compatibles.
