Yup, that works too -- on the assumption the compatible string is unique enough.
This is where things are a little fun. In previous discussions, yes, the machine compatible string should be unique. But it's not. Is it unique enough for this case, today? No, since mechanism could be what's passing the correct device tree to the OS. Might this in turn be what drives people to fix the case? Maybe.
