If we do not consider the differences in SPI hardware and consider the
differences in SoC, it will result for each new a SoC adaptation, a new
compatible patch needs to be submitted to the community but spi hardware
was same and that will increase the workload of the community, It seems
to be more appropriate that use same compatible when spi hardware was
same and use different compatible when spi hardware was different.
