It might be misleading here. I think the bindings is for SoC, just like
"arm,realview-eb-soc" in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arm,realview.yaml

Reading the patch, it is to convert soc-imx8m.c to platform driver,
so need to add a compatible string for the soc device,
I think Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/fsl.yaml should be
a better place.

Peng.
