Now that usage of "ADC7" name has been replaced with usage of "ADC5
Gen2" name everywhere, remove the "qcom,spmi-adc7" compatible string.

Nope.  Unless all your dts files are distributed with the kernel, dropping
this breaks anyone who upgrades the kernel against an older firmware...

So even after the rename, you need to keep the deprecated naming around for
the binding side of things.

Your patchset is not bisectable. Neither this patch nor cover letter
marked this. This is not correct and will lead to broken kernels.

Even if not considering bisectability, this basically breaks the ABI
without any explanation and rationale.

Breaking ABI just because you want to rename something, is not the way
to go, so NAK. Sorry.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
