If you already know that they have differences, then as-is is fine. If they are believed to be 'the same', then you do: compatible = "nxp,imx8qxp-fspi", "nxp,imx8mm-fspi"; assuming i.MX8MM was the first version. This allows a MX8QXP to work without OS changes if the driver already supports the previous chip. And if any quirks are found, then the OS can handle them without a DT change. Rob
