It's up to Rob of course, but IMO it seems a nicer way forward to
include both the SoC-specific string and the "version" string in all
cases. I'd write this for the full text:

- compatible: Should contain a SoC-specific string and a IP version string:
version strings:
"qcom,sdhci-msm-v4" for sdcc versions less than 5.0
"qcom,sdhci-msm-v5" for sdcc version 5.0
full compatible strings with SoC and version:
"qcom,apq8084", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"
"qcom,msm8974", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"
"qcom,msm8916", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"
"qcom,msm8992", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"
"qcom,msm8996", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"
"qcom,sdm845-sdhci", "qcom,sdhci-msm-v5"

NOTE that some old device tree files may be floating around that only
have the string "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4" without the SoC compatible string
but doing that should be considered a deprecated practice.
