On doing some experiments myself, the of_device_id which gets selected
during probe depends on the order in which its entry appears in the
match table inside the driver rather than how the compatible string is
written. I think this puts undue dependency on how the driver is
written, so I am okay with providing a single compatible value like the
way you have done ATM.
I do think the string appearing first in the compatible list is what
should be selected if a match is available but I am not sure if there
are other considerations due to which of_match_device() is written the
way it is written.
Thanks,
