I doubt that one can run IoT firmware, i.e. QCS9100 version, directly
on SA8775P board, even though both are non-gearvm variant.  At least,
SA8775P and QCS9100 have different SoC ID.

I'm all for removing sa8775p-ride boards if they are completely obsolete
and superseded by qcs9100-ride. For the record, I haven't seen sa8775p-ride
board anywhere these days.
