Your way of quoting, including removing blank lines, weird wrapping,
does not make it easy to answer anything here. Use decent email client
which solves all these problems.

So this is the main SoC?

Multiple of CN9130? 2x CN9130? Nothing happens, does not really matter.
Anyway the compatible is just to uniquely identify the device for users,
not represent some programming model, because there is no programming
model of a board.

You use the compatibles in your patchset, so you should know, not me. I
have zero knowledge, also actually almost zero interest, in learning
your particular platform. I tried to fixup some bindings and maintainers
for Marvell: failed with not really helpful comments. Therefore I don't
care anymore about Marvell.

You or your platform maintainers should know what is this about and come
with explanation to the community.
