That is not the convention.

You say

   compatible = "amcc,ppc460gt-crypto", "amcc,ppc460ex-crypto";

So, a unique name for the actual device first, followed by the name of
what it is compatible to.  The driver for 460ex-crypto will then work
without any changes, but it can also do some 460gt-specific workarounds
or enhancements; or you could even have a totally separate driver for
the 460gt-crypto (you'll have to arrange for it to be used preferably
then).

You should document this 460gt-crypto binding, btw (a single line in
the 460ex-crypto binding doc will do).
