Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: mediatek: Add fallback compatible for mt8192's flash

The dt-binding for Mediatek's SPI NOR flash controller expects a mt8173
fallback compatible for mt8192, so add it in mt8192.dtsi.

The driver already sets custom data based on the mt8192 compatible, so
this fallback compatible won't be used and is added purely to suppress
the dt-binding warning.

By the way, I wonder if this patch should be accompanied by a patch adding the
mediatek,mt8192-nor standalone compatible as deprecated in the dt-binding. I
feel like the answer is in theory yes, but in practice no.

The fact that the mediatek,mt8192-nor standalone compatible was accepted in the
devicetree means that it should show in the dt-binding, since it's an acceptable
binding. But since the binding already shows up there with a fallback binding,
then this standalone binding should be considered deprecated.

But in practice, the mediatek,mt8192-nor is the more specific binding so
documenting its standalone use as deprecated wouldn't accomplish much.

What do you think?

Thanks,
N?colas
