[Alice Guo]Hi,
I find that my description for compatible is ambiguous. There are two kinds of compatible of the "soc" node:
1. For dtsi files used for SoCs other than imx8m series SoCs and old version dtsi files used for imx8m series SoCs,
compatible of the "soc" node is "simple-bus".
2. For new version dtsi files used for imx8m series SoCs, compatible of the "soc" node is {"fsl,imx8mX-soc","simple-bus"}.

"nvmem-cell" is an optional property.

I do not understand what you mean. You mean that limit the compatible of "soc" node must include " fsl,imx8mX-soc" in new version dts files. Is my understanding correct?

Best regards,
Alice
