I think Rob is talking about something like this:

	compatible="qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.0", "qcom,hidma-mgmt"

This specifies that this is the v1.0 of the HIDMA management engine (or, 
the management engine for the 1.0 HIDMA device).  That way, if in the 
future there's a v1.1, you can do this:

	compatible="qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.1", "qcom,hidma-mgmt"

The driver will probe only on ""qcom,hidma-mgmt", but in the probe 
function, it can query the version number and act accordingly.

Alternatively, the driver can probe on both:

static const struct of_device_id hidma_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.0", &v10_struct},
	{ .compatible = "qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.1", &v11_struct},
	{},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, hidma_match);

And then the probe function will automatically get a pointer to either 
v10_struct or v11_struct.
