I need your help to grasp what that change is supposed to express? Would
you mind turning it into english sentences?

A=ti,j721e-usb and B=ti,am64-usb. My understanding of your proposal is
that a device can either be compat with A or B. But B is compatible
with A so you express it as a list of items. If B is compat with A then
A is compat with B. Does the order of items matter?

I've not applied your proposal to check for dtbs_check but I'd guess it
would throw warnings for the single existing upstream DTSI (as of
v6.8-rc6) that uses "ti,am64-usb"? See:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am64-main.dtsi.

Thanks Conor!
