    Documentation: dt: OMAP: explicitly state SoC compatible strings · 89b6eef0
    Nishanth Menon authored
    SoC family definitions at the moment are reactive to board needs.
    This results in potentially wrong matches taking place for board types.
    
    Eventually, we will have descriptors match only with SoC types and
    should not contain anything specific to board handling and pave the
    way to getting rid of soc_is_XYZ checks and allow this determination
    done with matches at of level.
    
    Existing implicit definitions(as part of board descriptions) are
    explicitly documented.
    
    NOTE: Even though we prefer to have dt compatibility to explicit,
    "ti,dra7xx", "ti,am33xx", "ti,omap36xx" preexist in current dts and
    are maintained for backward compatibility. It is also expected that
    any future SoC addition will keep this documentation updated.
