Well, this is the *board* (fallback) compatible string, so we cannot assign
it as we like. The whole (existing) scheme is admittedly somewhat weird,
because we not only match on a particular device compatible
(like allwinner,sun20i-d1-operating-points), but also need to blocklist and
re-match some parts against the *board compatible*, owing to the
cpufreq-dt driver. The board name is basically used as a placeholder to
find out the SoC, because there is (or was?) no other good way - the
CPU DT nodes don't work for this. Back when this was introduced, this was
the "least worst" solution.

I don't remember all the details, and didn't find time yet to look into
this in more detail, but fixing this is non-trivial. If this isn't 6.8
material, I might have a look at this later this week/month.

Cheers,
Andre
