Agreed with regards to consistency.

It sounds to me that calling those as Kirin 9xx (and the previous one
as Kirin 620) is better than using the part number.

Here, googling for "Kirin 970" gave about 6.9 million hits, while "Hi3670"
gave only 75,5K hits.

Kirin 620 has similar results: 6.85 million hits, against 61,9 hits
for "Hi3620".

With "Kirin 960", the numbers are a lot higher: had 21,4 million hits,
against 423K hits for "Hi3660".

So, my preference is to use "Kirin 620, 960 and 970" for future changes.

Currently, there are already some inconsistency, as some places
use the part number where others use "Kirin xxx" designation,
when referring to Kirin 620, 960 and 970.

I would love to make this consistent among the Kernel. However,
I'm not sure if changing "compatible" would be acceptable
by DT maintainers.

If something like that would be OK, I can prepare a separate
patchset to be applied at the Kernel.

Thanks,
Mauro
