We still use dwc3 IP in Realtek's SoC. Why is the name "dwc3" inappropriate?

Should compatibility names use the SoC name?
For example, our SoC name
RTD129x, RTD139x, RTD161x, RTD161xB, etc.
Should we use these names in compatible names?
"realtek, rtd129x", "realtek, rtd139x", "realtek, rtd161x"...etc.

Thanks,
Stanley
