Compatible names should refer to a specific version of the hardware,
without wildcards. Change each instance of mv64x60 to mv64360, which
is the oldest version we currently support.
Actually, it's normal to have more than one compatible field, from
specific to generic. So it should make sense to have both (with the
64360 entry first).
The normal use is to have the exact device first, and older devices
that the device is compatible to after that.
There is no such thing as a "generic" device, in general. It's a
mistake to define generic "compatible" values [*], that's like
trying to predict the future -- how can you guarantee that all
future devices in a device family will be compatible?

[*] In certain cases, like usb-ohci, there _is_ a defined interface
for all future devices. Also, "legacy" devices have a de facto such
interface.
