My understanding of the sa8295p auto board is that it has a single SoC.
The sa8540p auto board has dual SoCs (same SoC variant as the sa8295p)
with a PCIe interconnect between the two SoCs. I hate to bike shed on
the name but perhaps the name sa8295p would be more fitting like you
had it in v2, but ultimately leave it up to the maintainers on which
name to use here.

How will the dual SoCs in the sa8540p be represented in device tree?
I assume just document the PCI endpoint to the other SoC? Then run
the two SoCs independently and let them see the other SoC through
PCIe?
