Because it is the same IP it should also have the same compatible string. Current code look for the first driver which matches compatible string and call bind function. If this is not the right driver which is express by returning -ENODEV ("Driver XYZ refuses to bind") there is no reason not to continue over compatible list to try to find out different driver with the same compatible string which match it. When the first compatible string is found core looks for driver bind() function. If if assigned driver refuse to bind, core continue in a loop to check if there is another driver which match compatible string. This driver is going to be used with cdnc,ttc driver which has driver as timer and also can be used as PWM. The difference is done via #pwm-cells property in DT.

E.g. put the loop in a new function?
Sent v4 with adding one more loop. There are so many parameters use that new function won't really help.
Also, if pre_reloc_only, it still quits. Don't you want it to continue in that case too?
Also fixed in v4.
Finally, can you add such a driver to sandbox test.dts and add a check in test/dm/core.c or similar so that this behaviour is tested?
When the patch is acked I will take a look at writing test case for it. I have tested it with pwm driver to see proper behavior. Thanks, Michal
