in  http://www.devicetree.org/specifications-pdf I found the description
at the bottom.

I your case what would prevent from creating 2 entries in the table and
then use either in qemu cmd line?

VFIO_PLATFORM_BINDING("qcom", "hidma-1.0", add_amd_hidma_fdt_node),
VFIO_PLATFORM_BINDING("qcom", "hidma-2.0", add_amd_hidma_fdt_node),

The issue is the comma in the property is interpreted as a separator for
options, hence that choice of having 2 separate options.

Besides I will fix the CONFIG_LINUX compilation issue asap.

Thanks

Eric

"
The recommended format is "manufacturer,model", where manufacturer is a
string describing the name of the manufacturer (such as a stock ticker
symbol), and model specifies the model number.

Example:
compatible = "fsl,mpc8641-uart", "ns16550";
In this example, an operating system would first try to locate a device
driver that supported
fsl,mpc8641-uart. If a driver was not found, it would then try to locate
a driver that supported the more general ns16550 device type.
