I mostly just copied this from the DART-MX6 device tree which is
another variscite
imx6q based modular SoM custom board combination:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.5-rc2/arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6q-var-dt6customboard.dts#L17
The terminology is a bit confusing in general here, variscite has 2
families of pin2pin
modules, the "VAR-SOM" and the "DART" family.
https://www.variscite.com/variscite-pin2pin-system-on-module-families/
Within each connector family there are then multiple SoM boards that
can be used with the same carrier boards(ie the Custom Board carrier board
like the evaluation kit) although they are often bundled together with specific
boards in practice.
So the existing DART-MX6 I think uses the same SoC but is in a different
family and as such has a different carrier board. However as the relation
between the SoM and the carrier board is effectively the same, I just copied
the way compatibile is being set there for the VAR-SOM-MX6 from the
existing DART-MX6 custom board device tree.
I think this roughly represents the SoM board device tree associations as I'm
understanding them:
pin2pin Family: DART
SoM: https://www.variscite.com/product/system-on-module-som/cortex-a9/dart-mx6-cpu-freescale-imx6/
SoM part: DART-MX6
SoM device tree: imx6qdl-var-dart.dtsi
SoM SoC: imx6q
Board: https://www.variscite.com/product/single-board-computers/dt6customboard/
Board device tree: imx6q-var-dt6customboard.dts
Board compatible: compatible = "variscite,dt6customboard", "fsl,imx6q";
pin2pin Family: VAR-SOM
SoM: https://www.variscite.com/product/system-on-module-som/cortex-a9/var-som-mx6-cpu-freescale-imx6/
SoM part: VAR-SOM-MX6
SoM device tree: imx6qdl-var-som.dtsi
SoM SoC: imx6q
Board: mx6customboard
https://www.variscite.com/product/single-board-computers/var-mx6customboard/
Board device tree: imx6q-var-mx6customboard.dts
Board compatible: compatible = "variscite,mx6customboard", "fsl,imx6q";
What's confusing here is that the DART-MX6 is also described as a SoM:
"DART-MX6 from Variscite is the smallest System on Module (SoM) / Computer
on Module (CoM) supporting NXP/Freescale’s i.MX6 Quad and Dual-core
Cortex-A9™ processor"
So we have a "DART-MX6" SoM part which corresponds to the "VAR-SOM-MX6"
SoM part, with both being SoM's but only one("VAR-SOM-MX6") having SoM in
the actual part name.
Does the compatible section for imx6qdl-var-dart.dtsi look correct?
I'm not sure what exactly a "SoM compatible" should look like here as SoM is
both a generic term(used to describe by both the "DART-MX6" and
"VAR-SOM-MX6" parts) as well as term used within a part(used in the
part for "VAR-SOM-MX6" as well as other SoM's in the "VAR-SOM" family
but not the "DART-MX6" part or other SoM's in the "DART" family).
