Not very pretty and future-proof if you ask me...

Looks to me like this can be handled entirely in DT without driver
changes like the other patches. Correct usage of compatible strings is
what gives you future-proofing. And no driver change is better than
needless changing.

If I make e.g. the jz4760 and jz4770 use the jz4780 compatible string, but
then I want to implement a new feature that only exists on the jz4780, how
can I do it without breaking everything?

It may look a bit wierd if 4780 is the fallback for 4770, but if the
4780 is older, then that actually makes sense.

The 4770 is older than the 4780.

Thanks,
