Good idea, but please _also_ put the exact name in there, first; so
something like
compatible = "AMCC,PowerPC,460GT", "AMCC,ppc440x6";
That way, you can still probe for specific versions where necessary.
This is completely in line with the "generic naming" recommended
practice; the PowerPC binding predates that RP, it really needs to
be updated.
Any reason we keep the device_type here, btw?
