Hi Dmitry,

Actually, the new compatible string make sense, because the driver is compatible with the
"pm8018" pwrkey but from a system point of view, it's not a pm8921 pwrkey, hence the new
compatible string.

Rob Herring was very clear with me with this policy, and it will simplify further driver
architecture change since it will not imply devicetree changes anymore.

My point of view is that the devicetree describes the hardware and need to have SoC specific
compatible string since it describes the actual silicon, and drivers must make sure to handle
all the SoC or family variants using the compatible string and the match data.
