The process design is specified on the corresponding datasheets for
these SoCs, which are flying somewhere around the internet.
Also [1].

How does this commit message based on what was said in [1] sound to you?

SM8475 is a respin of SM8450 on a different process node, which probably
forced some electrical changes.
Document the SM8475 compatible used to describe the PMIC GLINK on this
