Yes, mt8395 is fully compatible with mt8195.

But after reading Angelo's comment, we thought it is necessary to create a new compatible to avoid confusion for users.

Although they are fully compatible, developers cannot arbitrarily replace the chip on the board with another one. So separated bindings might be better.

Sorry you've misunderstood; I was trying to explain to Krzysztof that the two
SoCs are fully compatible... my suggestion was in like with what you're trying to
do as in I am agreeing with your first version, Macpaul, to inherit MT8195.

So,

- enum
- mediatek,mt8395-evk
- const: mediatek,mt8195
- const: mediatek,mt8395

The other way - mt8395 followed by mt8195 :)

Roger that. :)

Best regards,
Krzysztof
