Finally touch the hfpll doc and convert it to yaml, and do some related
changes along the way.

Convert the .txt documentation to .yaml.
Take the liberty to change the compatibles for ipq8064, apq8064, msm8974
and msm8960 to follow the updated naming schema. These compatibles are
not used upstream yet.
Also add a compatible for QCS404 since that SoC upstream already uses
qcom,hfpll compatible but without an SoC-specific string.

HFPLL.

add a qcs404-specific compatible and rename the existing struct to

Just keep one example, they are the same. And then drop the comment.

Why? That's not a deprecated compatible. You now expect to create many
unnecessary entries, which is not really needed. This is opposite of
what we try to achieve with compatibility lists.

I think we should drop these entries. On msm8960 / apq8064 / ipq8064
the HFPLLs are a part of GCC, so there is no need for a separate
compat entry.

Just "qcom,hfpll" is not allowed by the bindings.
The problem is that it's actually unclear to me what "qcom,hfpll" was supposed
to be currently. It was added originally for MSM8974 and friends (see git log)
but then is currently only used by QCS404 while in QCS404 downstream msm-4.4
(I think it was 4.4) I see different driver data than what's here.
So I wanted to just move what's used here to be qcs404-specific and then in an
upcoming patch add a msm8974-specific compatible with different driver data.
Also wouldn't the "don't extend driver lists when not neccessary" mean using
something like "qcom,msm1234-hfpll", "qcom,qcs404-hfpll", "qcom,hfpll" then?
That was kind of my idea if some other SoC can reuse e.g. qcs404 data?

Okay... sentence is correct but how is it related to the driver?

I discourage from using generic compatibles, because their meaning is
too often fluid, but if we already have it then: it is supposed to be
whatever driver and bindings defined it when they were added.

qcs404 and hfpll are the same aren't they? Then why would third
compatible appear?

If any other SoC wants to reuse qcs404, why that SoC cannot use hfpll?
If hfpll compatible is not correct, it should be deprecated, which is
not happening in this patchset.
