I sent previous message stripping lists by mistake, so summarizing
everything here and reply:
1. IPQ0518 is already documented in include/dt-bindings/arm/qcom,ids.h
2. And indeed I found such variant of IPQ5018 in HW catalog, so that's a
real thing.

I still do not see why do you need to add this fallback. Neither commit
msgs nor cover letter explain WHY you need to change it.

Existing IPQ5018 compatible accurately describes the die for the kernel
and bootloader.
