Yup a different patch, thanks for looking into that

Can we mention that in the log please

So even though ip block can remain same for few versions, we should
trust hw folks enough to give us spicy flavours in next revs :-) so
adding a compatible here like qcom,msm8x60-adm would help us.

BUT, looking at the QC documentation I dont see it being used in recent
chips so ok to go with qcom,adm

Thanks
