Good point. I did actually think about this a bit. The *only* chip 
available at the time of the original driver was the arc2c0608 and that 
is the chip that is currently in use in the Samsung Chromebook Plus, and 
the only use I know of using the "arc" prefix. There will be no reason 
to ever support "arc,arc1.." or "arc,arc3..." in the bindings for past 
or future use.

The new two chips are just basically supported by this driver. There is 
more functionality to them which will be enabled in my next patch. I 
wanted to separate the move to "arctic" from the move to fully support 
the other chips for clarity (you guys are all rightly picky!) I did put 
the new chip bindings in the driver/bindings in this patch though so I 
could test this patch against the actual h/w instances: I have three 
boards, one with each chip type and each has a dtb with the "arctic,.." 
type binding onboard.
