Not much difference except the one register offset and ip version.
See:
#define SSP_VERSION_LATEST      4
#define ssp_is_old()            (host->version < SSP_VERSION_LATEST)
..
#define HW_SSP_VERSION (cpu_is_mx23() ? 0x110 : 0x130)
The ip version can be handled in driver, but for offset...
it depends on cpu_is_* macro.
Putting the HW_SSP_VERSION offset difference in .data can eliminate the need
of cpu_is_*.

Despite of that, since they're two devices,
i guess it's ok to put two compatible string there, right?
Or you thought just put one as below?
{ .compatible = "fsl,mxs-mmc", .data = NULL, },
