But as your patch proves, it is fully backwards compatible: An A64
driver works with this device.
And this is what this compatible string list says: If your system does
not have a specific H6 driver, you can use an A64 driver.
You might not get all the (potentially) new features, but it covers
everything the A64 has.

And a new silicon process doesn't matter here, since the software
interface is unchanged. *If* we find bugs, we can add quirks matching on
the H6 compatible string - that's why we put it here already, despite
having a matching string in the kernel at the moment.

Same as above, the A64 eMMC is a subset of the H6 eMMC, so the A64 eMMC
driver can drive the H6 as well. And again your code proves that,
because it behaves exactly the same as for the A64.
In case we ever get support for the EMCE, we add the new compatible
string to the driver and tie it to the new feature. So newer kernels can
use this feature, older kernel will just not, but can happily use the
eMMC anyway.

Cheers,
Andre.
