Now, I'm obviously not an expert on Tesla hardware, but just FSD seems to be quite generic according to the internet. It seems like the chip derived from Samsung used to be known as AP3/HW3, but there's now also AP4/HW4, so I wonder if those differ in some way and if these shouldn't include some sort of version/generation number.

That's the compatible chosen that time for entire platform, as a consensus, for all SoC components. Thus the PWM compatible is as specific as it can get. Best regards, Krzysztof

Tesla FSD is a derivative of Samsung Exynos SoC, thus just like the others it reuses several devices from older designs. Historically we kept the old (block's) compatible only. This works fine and there is no bug here, however guidelines expressed in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-bindings.rst state that: 1. Compatibles should be specific. 2. We should add new compatibles in case of bugs or features. Add Tesla FSD compatible specific to be used with an existing fallback.
