This idea of identify cores by the compatible looks workable.
I'll update this series at next version.
Thanks!

There's one problem of initializng the CORE1 using the same probe flow.
The register space of CORE0 and CORE1 are overlapped in the device node.
Both cores need to use the 'cfg' registers defined in scp yaml. 
The devm_ioremap_resource catches address overlapping and returns error when 
probing CORE1 driver.
