What does generic-rng mean. Is it for all mt7xxx, or also for mt6xxx and mt8xxx based SoCs? I think we should stick with SoC specific bindings, as we don't know if Mediatek won't publish a new IP block next year which is differnet. Just in case we should add a binding for the actual SoC + a fallback. For example. - compatible " Should be "mediatek,mt7622-rng", "mediatek,mt7623-rng" for SoC mt7622 "mediatek,mt7623-rng" for SoC mt7623 This will also eliminate the need of adding mt6722-rng to the driver, as it will use mt7623-rng as fallback. If in the future we realize that mt7622-rng has a extra feature/bug, we can still work around it, without breaking the bindings. Makes sense?
