Documenting the compat string here might give the wrong impression the 
IP is supported. Which it's not as the V3U is quiet different then the 
it's siblings. Whit a new pipeline and small but important changes in in 
the register set. I'm primarily thinking about that the IFMD register is 
gone and dealing with that will be quiet significant work in the driver.

I'm not yet 100% sure the best idea is to support V3U with this driver, 
maybe it's finally time to make it more modular, with more distinct 
support for Gen2, Gen3 and a new module for V3U?
