Yeah it's a bit confusing

RD-AC5X-(bunch of extra numbers and letters) is the board I have.
AC5X is a L3 switch chip with integrated CPU.
AC5 is a L3 switch chip with integrated CPU.

Switch wise the AC5X and AC5 are quite different but the CPU block is
the same between the two.

I can go with that but I'm a little vague on what the requirements are.
I was trying to follow the armada-7k-8k.yaml as an example.

If I look at the cn9130-crb-A board it ends up with:

  compatible = "marvell,cn9130", "marvell,armada-ap807-quad",
"marvell,armada-ap807";

I know the ap807 has something to do with the vagaries of the cn9130 SoC
but isn't the "marvell,cn9130" still referring to the SoC. From what
you've said shouldn't there be a "marvell,cn9130-crb" somewhere in the mix?

Perhaps I've picked a bad example but the other dtbs I've poked at don't
have any board binding.
