The trouble with naming it v4 is that such versioning does not exist in
documentation. At least I failed to find it. Neither there is clear
mapping between SoC and block version.

The only indication about BWMON versioning comes from downstream
sources, which I find not enough to justify usage of versions for blocks.

Therefore as per DT recommendation (which I am enforcing on others) I am
not planning put there bwmon-v4.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
