Understood, let me clear this confusion in the patchset-2 where fsd board will have its own compatible and
of course SoC will have its own (shared with fsd architecture) compatible.

I understand, it is a bit difficult to visualize it with the current patch set.
As discuss on the other thread, FSD is different, more over the vendor is different, internal design is different.
