Hi Krzysztof,

It is the same SoC. The original Agilex family was renamed to
"Agilex 7" when the Agilex 5 and Agilex 3 families were introduced,
so "Agilex 7 F-Series" is the current product name of the
Agilex F-Series device. The silicon and the HPS are unchanged, which
is why the board uses socfpga_agilex.dtsi and falls back to
"intel,socfpga-agilex", like the existing Agilex SoCDK boards.

Using "agilex7f" in the board compatible creates a confusion, as it
suggests a different SoC. In v2 I will rename it to
"intel,socfpga-agilex-socdk-multiqspi" to follow the existing
"intel,socfpga-agilex-socdk" and "intel,socfpga-agilex-socdk-emmc"
entries.

Understood. With the fixes mentioned earlier, there will no longer be an 
exception to the naming rules. In v2 the commit message will explain how 
this board differs from the standard Agilex SoCDK (the multi-QSPI flash
population) and why it needs its own compatible, instead of
repeating the diff.

Thanks,
Genevieve
