I'm okay with this as long as you don't drop the versioned property
also.  ie. Each compatible node should contain 2 strings.  The exact
version and the generic string.

My preference is something even more generic like "sparse16550" simply
because there is precedence for such a thing before Xilinx came along
(specifically, an 16550 device with reg shift and offset values).
Since it is a common variant and If you document exactly what it
means, then it should be okay to create a compatible property without
the 'xlnx,' prefix.

Cheers,
g.
