Since I don't expect this driver to be only for MT8195, but to be extended to
support some more future MediaTek SoCs and, depending on the number of differences
in the possible future Gen4 PHYs, even different gen's, I propose to add a generic
compatible as const.

So you'll have something like:

- enum:
- mediatek,mt8195-pcie-phy
- const: mediatek,pcie-gen3-phy

I am not sure if this is a good idea. How sure are you that there will
be no different PCIe Gen3 PHY not compatible with this one?



Thanks for pointing that out, I have underestimated this option.

Perhaps Jianjun may be more informed about whether my proposal is valid or not.

Cheers,
Angelo
