I do not understand this logic at all. Usage of same SoC has nothing to
do with having or not having SoM compatible. Every SoM uses same
compatible as some other device, so we should drop all SoM-compatibles
in the future?.

So if you have a SoM then it can be used with different boards, thus it
should have its own compatible.

Again, explain properly the hardware if this is the chosen design.
