like you mentioned, most things (all using the internal PHY, same GPU,
same pinctrl interface, ...) are going to be identical, but what about
the differences?
- available HDMI modes are different for S905X (max. 4k60), S905W
(max. 4k30) and S805X (max. 1080p)
- video encoders / decoders are different for S905X (max. 4k60), S905W
(max. 4k30) and S805X (max. 1080p)
- CPU frequency changes are probably a no-op for us since it's handled
by the SCPI firmware: 1.5GHz for S905X, 1.2GHz for S905W and S805X
- according to lvrp16 the S805X SoC itself measures 11mm x 11mm
whereas the S905X SoC measures 14mm x 14mm
- what else did I miss?

at least the first two may require SoC/package specific compatible
strings for the HDMI controller and video decoder (if these IP blocks
don't come with a way to auto-detect the max supported resolutions)

Martin
