In the past we had SOMs that _could_ function alone, but looking at the
announcement for this one [0] suggests that the SOM always needs a carrier
board, so I don't think the SOM actually needs a separate entry but instead
should be part of the carrier-board compatible list, as Rob suggested.

So I guess we should only have (from patch 3):
  - description: Radxa ROCK Pi N10
        items:
          - const: radxa,rockpi-n10
          - const: vamrs,rk3399pro-vmarc-som
          - const: rockchip,rk3399pro
