That wasn't a choice, but dual license it please.

Sounds like you want:

items:
 - const: thingyjp,breadbee
 - enum:
     - mstar,infinity
     - mstar,infinity3

If one board can do both chips. Though if the same PCB is populated
differently beyond the SoC, then maybe 2 board compatibles makes
sense.

Why not use the part numbers (msc313...)?
