RE: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: allwinner: a64: Add Oceanic A64-5inMFD initial support

We don't mind if it has to be:
compatible = "oceanic,5inmfd", "allwinner,sun50i-a64";

However, to avoid confusion, might it be worth including the part number (We list this as '5205 5" MFD') so this would become:
compatible = "oceanic,5205-5inmfd", "allwinner,sun50i-a64";

Perhaps this solves the issue. Please let me know thoughts.

Oceanic seems to have some multiple Multi Function Devices, ie reason we prefer the product as 'A64-5inMFD' since it is A64 based. In this case the model and compatible should be fine I think?
