I'd be inclined to say that if we are gonna take a shortcut here, then
this patch should add a specific compatible so that when the yaml
conversion goes through you'll get a warning about this being
undocumented rather than silence.

A resend on the flexcom patch is required though, the rebase was not
done correctly, so maybe Balakrishnan could "atmel,sama7g5-flexcom"
add with a fallback to "atmel,sama5d2-flexcom" while they're fixing
it up?

Cheers,
Conor.
