    The compatible string used to be "qcom,qspi-v1". ...but Rob Herring
    requested [1] "an SoC specific compatible string". While we could do
    a compatible string like:

    "qcom,sdm845-qspi", "qcom,qspi-v1".

    I'm curious if that buys us anything. From all my previous experience
    with device tree it is fine to name a compatible string for a
    component based on the first SoC that used it. If we later find that
    this is also used in an "msm1234" we could always later do the
    compatible string for that device as:

    "qcom, msm1234-qspi", "qcom,sdm845-qspi"

    ...and we don't need to try to come up with a generic name.
    Obviously, though, I'll cede to whatever Rob says here though.
