I'm aware of the background, but what I don't understand is, why do you want to
keep the sa8775p compatible in both the driver and binding? Once you rename the
DT, these compatibles become meaningless.

Waiting for Auto team to remove the compatible is not ideal. They may anyway
modify it based on SCMI design.
