I was hoping to keep this series focused on the core infrastructure
changes: the bindings, base ICC bandwidth-voting support, and DT
interconnect properties for the platforms currently supported on
Qualcomm Linux and have been validated so far.

The additional targets have not been tested yet, so I'd prefer
to add their support in a separate follow-up series once validation
is complete, rather than growing this series further. WDYT?

Agreed.
We need the interconnect property for any of the listed platform using
the adreno-smmu only.

Additionally in following e.g.

compatible = "qcom,adreno-smmu",
             "qcom,sc7280-smmu-500",
             "qcom,smmu-500",
             "arm,mmu-500",
             "qcom,new-string";

The current schema could miss enforcing the interconnect property
when new compatible strings are introduced, whereas the approach you
suggested continues to handle such cases correctly.

I'll update the binding accordingly in the next revision.

Thanks & regards,
Bibek
