Well, true. But in some cases we handle this by using a single set of
compatibles. Consider e.g. sa8155 vs sm8150 (sa8155 overrides just few
compats that differ). Or qrb5165 vs sm8250 (there is no separate
qrb5165.dtsi). APQ8096 (#include "msm8996.dtsi"). Etc.

I'd say this really depends on the actual difference between qru and qdu.
