That depends, is the register space still "compatible" with the AM65
version of this space? If not then we would want to qualify these
with their SoC versions.

A quick check of the documentation shows the register space is still
5 registers, 4 DATA and 1 CLK. The contents are different though, but
since this compatible string is not used to match with a driver that
would care (that is handled by the DSS node which does have different
compatibles for each device), I'm actually not sure. Guess we can leave
that decision to the DT binding maintainers..
