AM3 has "version 2" of LCDC, whereas DA850 is v1. They are quite
similar, but different.

The driver gets the version number from LCDC's register, and acts based
on that, so afaik the compatible string doesn't really affect the
functionality (as long as it matches).

But even if it works with the current driver, I don't think
"ti,am33xx-tilcdc" and "ti,da850-tilcdc" are compatible in the HW level.
