Sorry, I meant in the same node. I take it we never expect:

compatible = "ti,am335x-beaglebone-black-audio", "ti,da830-evm-audio";

In general we've pushed back against wildcard strings, and used the
first implementation for the naming. We should be able to use 
"ti,am3358-beaglebone-black-audio" for AM335{8,9} assuming the block is
the same? Otherwise we might need separate strings anyway.

Thanks,
