It's not about what the driver uses, but what is valid in a DT file.
Either you say the 2 implementations are different and in no way
compatible with each other:

enum:
  - nvidia,tegra186-gpcdma
  - nvidia,tegra194-gpcdma

Or you say 186 is backwards compatible with 194 (meaning 186 is a
superset of 194 so a driver written for 194 still works on 186 (though
not any new features)).

oneOf:
  - const: nvidia,tegra194-gpcdma
  - items:
    - const: nvidia,tegra186-gpcdma
    - const: nvidia,tegra194-gpcdma
