The fsl_ssi probe function detects the client machine name using model property of the device tree. But it will not work for the ARM client machines which are to be added. The model property is given as a descriptive string on all ARM device tree (arch/arm/boot/*.dts). Instead, the compatible property gives the machine name.
If you apply this change to the P1022DS as well, then you can eliminate the need to check for "P1022" and "P1022DS", since the compatible string in the P1022DS DTS has always said, "fsl,P1022DS".
Since I was asked by Mark to use new binding for new machine driver, I would drop this patch and keep PowerPC machine drivers working with /model property.
