The preference is not to keep adding properties for every single quirk 
or feature. These should be implied by specific compatibles. As Synopsys 
knows what quirks/errata/features are in each version of IP, the 
compatible strings should reflect those versions. (And yes, I'm sure 
there's customer ECO fixes that aren't reflected in the version, but 
that's why we have SoC specific compatibles too.) This is the only way 
we can fix quirks in the OS without doing DT updates. For comparison, do 
you want to have to update your PC BIOS so an OS can work-around issues?
