Somehow I confabulated the generic compatible being present in the
driver... I was trying to explain that 

And yes I didn't notice the 8350/8450 difference. But anyway, the
resolution will be one of:

// 8450 is fully compatible
"qcom,sm8475-pmic-glink",
"qcom,sm8450-pmic-glink",
"qcom,pmic-glink"

or

// 8475 is special
"qcom,sm8475-pmic-glink",
"qcom,pmic-glink"

depending on what you believe is more correct. I think the first
one fits better.
