No, I meant that you should permit
compatible = "marvell,cn9880-wdt", "marvell,cn9670-wdt";
and
compatible = "marvell,cnf9535-wdt", "marvell,cn9670-wdt";
and
compatible = "marvell,cn9670-wdt";
so the driver only needs to contain
{ .compatible = "marvell,cn9670-wdt", .data = &match_data_octeontx2},
instead of
{ .compatible = "marvell,cn9670-wdt", .data = &match_data_octeontx2},
{ .compatible = "marvell,cn9880-wdt", .data = &match_data_octeontx2},
{ .compatible = "marvell,cnf9535-wdt", .data = &match_data_octeontx2},

Note that using fallback compatibles is separate from using wildcards,
and I was not suggesting that you go back to wildcards ;)

Cheers,
Conor.
