Sorry for late reply.

The clint is parsed by sbi. As use the same compatible, the opensbi will
parse the device twice. This will cause a fault.

Sorry for late reply, The clint consists of mtimer and ipi devices, which
is defined in [1]. This standard shows clint(or the aclint) has two device,
but not one. In another word, there is no need to defined mtimer and ipi
device on the same base address. So we need two compatibles to allow sbi
to identify them correctly.
