The only compatible consumed by the driver is the last one in this case,
meaning sc7180 is only there so that if we discover quirks very specific
to sc7180 down the line, we can add some exceptions in code

Reusing sc7180 would remove the ability to address any quirks that would
concern qcs615 specifically, which can happen due to hw design, fw
quirks etc.
