There are few ways to solve this, like having different compatibles or
having some shared compatibles to note common part of hardware. However
usually the final compatible represents the final device, which here you
use for two entirely different products. This works only for the cases
of carrier boards, where that compatible indeed represents the same
hardware.
Not your case. This needs fixing.
