[RFC] More compatibles or more quirk properties

Hi,
I'm running into a dilemma choosing between two approaches of defining device tree binding. Let's say if we have several chips with a similar SoC block, but each of them have different quirks. If I define different compatibles for each of the chips, the driver will have a longer match table and thus bloat the device matching process. Or we can use a same compatible for all of them and define properties for each of the quirks. But it somewhat bloats the device tree. I'm more prone to the second solution, but I do want to hear what you guys think about it.
