Per Grant Likely's comments, "fsl,qe-pario-bank" considered as a made up
stuff. MPC8323 is the first QE chip, so every next QE chips should be
compatible.

Though, for fsl,gtm we can't use this, since we really want generic
name.

Nope. If the the QE is compatible with the previous, just write
"fsl,newchip-qe-pario-bank", "fsl,mpc8323-qe-pario-bank".

Btw, the same we do for the 8349 compatible PCI.

gpio.h disagree

$ cat include/asm-generic/gpio.h  | grep \*get
        int                     (*get)(struct gpio_chip *chip,
