    Documentation: dt: keystone: provide SoC specific compatible flags · 2df7b0f0
    Nishanth Menon authored
    Keystone2 devices are used on more platforms than just Texas
    Instruments reference evaluation platforms called EVMs. Providing a
    generic compatible "ti,keystone" is not sufficient to differentiate
    various SoC definitions possible on various platforms for the
    following reasons:
    a) Userspace applications have no way of knowing which SoC they are
    functioning, providing the compatible matches provide a mechanism for
    them to enable SoC specific functionality. Such userspace applications
    are typically automated test framework or SoC custom hardware
    acceleration entitlement from a common file system.
    b) Provides an accurate hardware description. This allows
    SoC specific logic to be run time handled based on
    of_machine_is_compatible("ti,k2hk") or as needed for the dependent
    processor instead of needing to use board dependent compatibles that
    are needed now.
    
    Hence, provide compatible matches for each SoC in the Keystone family.
