Because all variants use the same Device Tree. There is also only one compatible and one (main) DTSI
for the AM62 SoC family, which our Device Trees are based on.

There is a single TQMa62xx PCB, which has some AM62 family SoC installed (AM6254 in the case of the
TQMa6254, but all AM62 are possible). TQMa62xx is also the name used for marketing when not talking
about a specific SoC variant:
https://www.tq-group.com/en/products/tq-embedded/arm-architecture/tqma62xx/
Some SoM variants with different RAM/eMMC/SPI-NOR/... do exist, but they don't have separate device
trees (firmware may patch some variant information into the DTB however, like the correct RAM size).
Choosing one representative for the family including the SoC variant number, but not distinguishing
minor variants matches the level of detail used for our other SOMs already supported by mainline
Linux (like the TQMa64xxL and various i.MX-based platforms).
Best,
