Yes, you are correct. Only sam9x72 and sam9x75 have LVDS support, while 
sam9x70 does not. I will revise the compatibility to include both 
sam9x72 and sam9x75, as outlined below:

properties:
   compatible:
     enum:
       - microchip,sam9x72-lvds
       - microchip,sam9x75-lvds

Additionally, I will update the driver accordingly. Thank you.
