The SoC name is Coolidge , it contains "Kalray cores". Kalray being the name of the company.
The exact core name is kv3-1. The core is part of the kvx family: next core generation will most likely be called kv4 or kv4-1.
The question whether to use "coolidge" (soc name) or "kv3-1" (cpu core name) for our IPs compatible is indeed a good one, we talked about it internally at Kalray.
We ended up using "kv3-1" at the beginning of the compatible when the hw IP is very closed/tightly integrated into the CPU core.
We ended up using "coolidge" when the hw IP is just some general IP inside the SoC (like the IOMMU, the dma_noc).
The "intc" or "core intc", is very tightly integrated into the cpu core.
The "core intc" is configured directly using core registers named SFR (System Function Registers) using special SFR handling instructions. It is not memory mapped.
So we ended up using "kv3-1" in the compatible. Is this OK?

Oops, ok, I will do this.

CPU configures the core intc using special instructions to access SFR (System Function Registers).
