Just switch to SoC specific compatibles.

So a SoC. Use SoC compatibles and follow every other recent binding.

That's not how lists are working. Don't explain me what it does, because
I know that it does nothing good: it's broken code. You can explain me
what you wanted to achieve, but still this part is just wrong and makes
no sense. Drop.

Then rather investigate the errors instead of doing random changes.

NAK, no point at all.
