Hence, it is possible to remove them.
Preference is to have SoC-specific compatibles in the front, so
instead of dropping it, these should be documented as bindings.

We cannot conclude that nobody is using these compatibles.
imx23 and imx28 are quite old platforms, so I think no one really
cared about dtbs_check and their bindings. If the platform is being
actively used (as judging by your contributions) then some bigger
cleanup could be useful. Also, drop your email somewhere in the files
or maintainer entry, so we will know whom to ping when asking for
platform removal.\
But if there is no product on imx23/28, then I am afraid it might be
wasted effort - isn't it planned for deprecation/removal by Arnd?
I cannot say about imx23, but for sure imx287 will stay with us for
many, many years.
imx287 (arm9) is still in active production, for extended life time
devices...
It is just pervasive in the industry.
I can confirm this.
Best regards
