This construct doesn't cover the three compatible string case, since we
only get to choose from one of the enums, and always have two strings -
hence my challenge to find the shortest sequence ;-)

I see where you are coming from, but that order doesn't look right,
since we go back from DBI to normal and then back again. And
"allwinner-sun20i-d1-spi" is not a super set of
"allwinner,sun50i-r329-spi-dbi".
In case we will need a D1 quirk, we could key this to the D1 DBI
compatible as well, I think, so this three string version should work.

Cheers,
Andre
