We can't do this. This is a binding for a driver, not for the hardware.

Unfortunately each instance for the hardware IP have little differences like which triggers they could accept or size of the counter register, and I doesn't have value inside the hardware to distinguish them so the only way I found is to use compatible.

Can't you represent these as properties?
