The current imx8mp-debix-model-a.dts uses all three compatibles. Fix the
corresponding bindings by adding an own entry for it.

Same comments as for patch #2. I think this should be rather deprecated
- not a good pattern.

How can we deprecate a binding?

The middle compatible was my suggestion, because there's also the Debix Model
B Standard and Model B SE, which is the same board, but different SoC variant:

 Model A:          Commercial Temperature Grade
 Model B Standard: Industrial Temperature Grade
 Model B SE:       Industrial Temperature Grate, but i.MX8MP Lite
                   (No Neural/Video/Image accelerators).

As everything outside the SoC is the same, I wanted a generic board
compatible that bootloaders can match against. The SoMs should probably
not reuse it, but I think it should be kept (perhaps renamed?) for the
SBCs that don't utilize the Debix SoM.

Cheers,
Ahmad

The order of compatibles in patch two does not really look correct,
although it is accepted in some cases (e.g. Renesas). But anyway "Debix"
sounds like a vendor - they even have website - so compatible for all
boards seems too generic. This should be compatible for one specific
board. I understand that one board can have different SoMs (it is
common, just look at Toradex or Variscite), but it does not mean that
board should be unspecific.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

The SoM may come also in a 'Standard' and 'SE' edition.

I reused the "polyhex,imx8mp-debix" compatible since we already have a
user [1] and there are no differences.

I can drop it for the SoM case but for the SBC case I can't since this
would break current users [1].
