There is no reason all machines can't use "st,spear600-smi" in their
dts. It doesn't have to be a spear600, just compatible with it. Really
you want the string to be the oldest SOC the block is in and then newer
SOCs can claim compatibility with the old version.
This is also bad that you would break any existing dtb's out there. This
is probably not a concern yet since it's all new and in transition, but
down the road this is something that can't be done.
