I'm still not buying the concept of this being the one and only
single-board-computer.

If this compatible fully and exclusively identifies this particular
board then dtbTool should be updated to follow the product name
"qcom,apq8096-db820c". If on the other hand this identifies a class of
single-board-computers, then the compatible should list both
"qcom,apq8096-dtb820c" and "qcom,apq8096-sbc".



Further more, the ePAPR defines this property as:
"Specifies a list of platform architectures with which this platform is
compatible. This property can be used by operating systems in selecting
platform specific code."

So I think we should follow the common pattern of having the least
significant entry being "qcom,apq8096".
