The current compatible strings are not specific enough to constrain the
hardware in devicetree. For example, the current "img,img-axe" string
refers to the entire family of Series AXE GPUs. The more specific
"img,img-axe-1-16m" string refers to the AXE-1-16M GPU which, unlike the
rest of its family, only uses a single power domain.

Work is currently underway to add support for volcanic-based Imagination
GPUs; also add a generic top-level "img,img-rogue" compatible string to
allow for simpler differentiation in devicetrees.

Make these changes now before introducing more compatible strings to keep
the legacy versions to a minimum.

That's not true, you could apply the rules using the ti,am62-gpu
compatible, no?

This makes no sense, how does adding another fallback compatible make
it simpler? I have to assume that this means there will be geothermally
powered axes in the future and you want to tell the difference between
them and those pesky rogue axes that chop the heads off of naughty
children?
