Look at the below example it has different drivers (SPI, I2C).
Compatible name changes form acc-acc so that we can use different
parameters corresponding to accelerometer, if it is acce specific.

Like
.compatible = "st,lis302dl-spi",
.compatible = "st,lis331dlh-i2c",
.compatible = "st,xx-spi",
.compatible = "st,xx-i2c",

If we do like this we can reduce lot of DT reads in driver.

Is it require is my question, how many SoCs take these different
parameters from platform data.
