3 versions here for 3 SoCs. I'm not getting that convinced version
numbers really are better. I would assume that other QCom IP blocks
have versions too, but pretty much *every* *other* binding uses SoC names.
Why is this one special? The other problem with versions is the mapping
of versions to SoCs most likely can't be validated outside of QCom
unless there's a version register.

So, sorry to go in circles, but can you go back to qcom,<soc>-tsens. You
can keep qcom,tsens-v2 as a fallback.

Yes, it's annoying to have to update bindings for new SoCs. But it's
trivial one line patches. Look at Renesas bindings. Maybe adding new
ones will be scriptable once we move to json-schema binding docs.
