I think we are talking styles here. I started with your proposal and wanted to group
the settings together as much as I can for maintenance reasons only because
I don't have to remember that there are two different arrays that I need to take care
of when I add a new HW in the future.

+static struct hidma_cap hidma_msi_cap = {
+ .of = {
+ {.compatible = "qcom,hidma-1.1",},
+ {.compatible = "qcom,hidma-1.2",},
+ {},
+ },
+
+ .acpi = {
+ {"QCOM8062"},
+ {"QCOM8063"},
+ {},
+ }
+};

I like this better than what you are proposing.

HIDMA capable devices are a subset of the devices that need to be probed. That's also
why I don't touch the device_table.

In the end both approaches work. It is a choice between what is more manageable. That
was the initial objection. I tried to close on this request.
