What difference do you care about? If it affects the programming model
of the device, it should be described in the compatible string, or in
properties on the device node.

Matching the SoC is a bit aof a warning sign. If there's information
that we need, but don't currently have, please extend the binding to
provide it.

If the base address of a register differs in this manner, then these
aren't "compatible", and should have separate strings.

Either that, or the binding should mandate a property to describe this.

You can *add* a new string, for which that property is mandatory, if you
believe you will see greate variation here in future.

NAK. Breaking support for existing DTBs is not ok.

Thanks,
