So generic ones like in the manufacturer tree can't be used here. === Johan

With consulting to my colleague，we plane to: 1.If new soc's spi ip is compatible with the fall back one, we wont add new compatible id to the code. 2.I will add new fall back string stand for new generation ip: rockchip,rv1126-spi >>>> >>>> Maybe this bug of mine should revert too??

Rockchip SPI and SFC controller can use a generic compatible string, because there is a version register inside the IP, and all the feature update will have a new IP version, so the driver is used for the SPI/SFC IP in all SoCs, we don't need to care which SoC is using this driver. If we have to use the compatible string "rockchip,rk3066-spi" and each for a new soc, then we have to update the driver compatible id list and document for each soc which is totally not need and not correct to do it. The example "iommu" is different, because there is no version register inside the IP and the IP can not identify itself, which need a software define "-vX".
