And why is SoC specific compatible required here ? Is the implementation on
sm8350 any different than the ones using "qcom,cpufreq-epss" compatible ?

FWIW, the same compatible string must be reused until the time there is
difference in the hardware. The compatible string must be considered as a marker
for a particular version of the hardware.

Rob has indicated that we should use a SoC specific compatible and I
agree with that. We are using both soc and generic one here and driver
will be loaded for generic one.

Thanks

Can you please extend this to add all the platforms that we currently
support?


PS. Didn't we have someone working on converting this to yaml?

The h/w block is the same features and bugs in every single 
implementation? If not sure, better be safe.

I don't know that I'd go back and add SoC ones for everything though.

I would prefer we have SoC ones to be future proof..
