There is a subtler point to be made.
While in the case of lpuart, there is that difference between Linux and
U-Boot, in that:
- Linux sets endianness based on compatible string
- U-Boot sets endianness based on "little-endian" property
For the dspi, it is different. Both Linux and U-Boot set endianness
based on the "big-endian" property. So that's why both the LS1021A and
LS1028A DSPI modules work with the same compatible string. Quite
inconsistent, but it is what it is.
