The entire point of having a generic compatible is that it MUST match
all devices. If it does not, then it is pointless to push that generic
compatible.

I am speaking about qcom,cpufreq-epss.

That's nothing new, I was arguing about it already, but now you have
confirmation of the mess introduced by generic compatibles. Solution is
not to add more generic compatibles, because what will be next?
qcom,cpufreq-epss-lighter?
qcom,cpufreq-epss-more-lite?
qcom,cpufreq-epss-high?

Same was here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240828203721.2751904-17-quic_nkela@quicinc.com/

So that's second time I object and do object for every new instance. No
to generic compatibles, they are proven to be wrong at least for
Qualcomm.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
