Looking at the driver it seems that there some differences between
certain versions and generic qcom,scm. For example they require bus
clock which could mean they won't work without it on a "qcom,scm"
compatible. That could mean that original "qcom,scm" also required that
bus clock but it was for example always enabled. Or that clock was never
needed on "qcom,scm".

I think this should be converted without generic fallback, IOW, the
original bindings are not accurate and driver+DTS are better hints how
it should work.
