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.
