The way Jiancheng defined this was consistent with the pattern
used for all other definitions of platforms found in this
documentation file.  Why make this one different?

There is not.  But there could be.  In any case, I do accept
your point that there's no need to encode the SoC identity
in the board compatible string.  But I don't think doing so
causes harm.

>> Even then it would be redundant with the second

I presume you're not arguing that the second compatible
string should be eliminated; it seems your concern is only
about including the SoC in the board's compatible string.
Is that right?

> The second compatilbe string can be removed here. Thanks.


I don't think it should be.

My position, for what it's worth, is that if a change is
made to the compatible strings, it should be:

  compatible = "hisilicon,poplar", "hisilicon,hi3798cv200";

But I don't think it's necessary to make that change.  Tocoding
has no other DT presence in the kernel right now; it seems fine
to tag the board with "hisilicon".

I've not checked all the subarchs, but STMicroelectronics chipsets I've been
involved with upstreaming also use <soc>-<board> compatible strings.

For STi b2120 board it could actually have STiH410 or STiH407 SoC. But
others like stih418-b2199 and stih410-b2260 only have one SoC. Also stm32
arch does the same thing.

Just having a quick look around arch/arm64/ as above examples were arch/arm/
and I see quite a few other examples as well e.g.

compatible = "mediatek,mt6755-evb", "mediatek,mt6755";
compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-evb", "mediatek,mt8173";
compatible = "fsl,ls1043a-qds", "fsl,ls1043a";
compatible = "samsung,exynos7-espresso", "samsung,exynos7";
compatible = "zte,zx296718-evb", "zte,zx296718";
compatible = "lge,lg1313-ref", "lge,lg1313";
compatible = "rockchip,rk3368-evb-act8846", "rockchip,rk3368";

Some subarchs have a mix within them, which maybe due to the SoC also
being part of the board name on some reference boards. But both ways seem to be
used in the kernel. So IMHO it would be better to see consistency in
arch/arm64/hisilicon* even though there is not consistency across all of
arch/arm64/* and arch/arm/*.

Peter.
