I see, thanks!
The more I look at it, the more logical this behaviour seems.

Yep. I wanted to keep the 3 components, and allow forking in the middle:

"solidrun,<board>", "solidrun,<module>", "fsl,lx2160a"

This however creates many combinations that are undesirable.
Existing boards using com express don't suddenly become compatible with 
the new SoM.
Therefore I prepared a different approach vor v2 now.
