The compatible matches the compatible specified in the PDC driver. Not
sure why the 'sdm' was left out at that time.

We could. I feel we would be adding tables like this and it just
clutters up the driver file. May be in the future we could move to
target specific data file like the gpios, but that could be excessive
too. Thought this might be a compromise. I am open to change.

I doubt there are plans to support that in hardware. We should plan for
supporting tables like this for other chipsets based on the PDC
architecture.
