You are right. I will group the stanalone compatibles into a single enum
and sort them alphabetically in v2.

Nord uses the QMP v7 SerDes register layout, whereas sa8775p uses the
v5 layout. The offsets differ, so Nord cannot use
qcom,sa8775p-dwmac-sgmii-phy as a fallback compatible.

Sorry about that. I mentioned the QMP v7 details in the cover letter
but forgot to include them in the commit message. I will expand the
commit message in v2 to describe the hardware differences and
explain why there is no fallback compatible.

Thank you for the review.
