Thanks for the review.

After internal confirmation and discussion, it can be confirmed that the 
MT8195 and MT8395 are identical SoCs from to binding's perspective. 
MediaTek hope the mt8395 boards could directly use mt8195.dtsi, without 
the need to create a separate mt8395.dtsi to include mt8195.dtsi. 
Therefore, we hope to fully adopt the bindings of mt8195. However, I 
will submit a revised patch for compatible since they are different boards.

If the reviewer still disagrees, then MediaTek will create a new binding 
and use mt8395.dtsi to include mt8195.dtsi to apply the separate 
bindings for differentiation.
