Why? Other platforms use a true SoC as the first entry.

Dmitry, from cpufreq-hw perspective SC7180 is a exact match for QCS615
and that was the reason to use the same.

Please look around. A quick `git grep` would show that every SoC uses SoC-specific compatible (although some of them are definitely compatible). The reason is pretty simple: each platform might have SoC-specific tunings and quirks.
