Using compatible for this kind of breaks the entire idea behind compatibles, because the device does not stop being compatible with amd,imageon. Either it is or it is not. I would understand that drop the compatible per boards which physically do not have display, physically are headless. But the comment in sm8250: "make sure to remove it when display node is added" is just confusing. The typical solution would be to just check the properties of the device and choose different mode if display is missing (via port graph or some other way how the gpu is actually linked to the display).
