Yep, A7-A10 share the same feature level ("apple,aic"), but I think 
having a separate, per-SoC
compatible in the DT from the get-go makes a lot of sense, since we're 
not sure what's gonna happen
when we, for example, add SMP support for these older chipsets, maybe 
they'll need some special
handling.

Similar story with A11 and M1. They can both work with "apple,aic", but 
they also support things
that are enabled with the "apple,t8103-aic" compat string.

I do not plan on adding specific compatibles for A7-A11 SoCs in the 
driver, unless we uncover some
bugs / deviations.
