These SoCs actually do have an x in their name. However, and I do always
get confused here, the sam9x7 is a series of SoCs (the cover letter does
say this) rather than a specific device.
I think the series current consists of a sam9x70 sam9x72 and a sam9x75.
The devices are largely similar, but I am not sure if the sam9x70
supports LVDS at all. Having a compatible for the series does not seem
correct to me.

Cheers,
Conor.
