AFAIK all four SKUs exist. And as far as the main processor is concerned,
they look completely identical, so they should share the same device tree.
As mentioned in the commit message, the differences are only visible to
the embedded controller, which fuses the sensor inputs.

Writing it this way avoids having four identical device tree files.

We also do this for many other device families, though those cover
different revisions, such as:

      - description: Google Hana (Lenovo Chromebook N23 Yoga, C330, 300e,...)
        items:
          - const: google,hana-rev6
          - const: google,hana-rev5
          - const: google,hana-rev4
          - const: google,hana-rev3
          - const: google,hana
          - const: mediatek,mt8173
