It's not exactly about the wording but the concept. We don't have
generic devices, thus no generic DT (DTS). Period. Thus you cannot have
such schema.

You now say that these are valid boards:

compatible = "google,gs101", "google,gs101";
(although compatibles

compatible = "google,gs101", "google,gs101-pixel";

Both are wrong. SoC should not be before the board and SoC cannot be
used alone. Your schema allows that and that's not good.

I did not get what you want to achieve here, so tricky to advice.
