I don't think generating it again is going to change the outcome & I
don't really think the -C version of this patch makes much sense, it is
hard to tell what has actually been moved.

I personally don't find the compatibles (or the dt nodes) confusing, so
I dunno. Having reusing the compatible is not something that I am a fan of
either, since this seems to be a different soc (given the sram &
coprocessor etc) even if the addresses of the peripherals are identical.
