I tend to agree with Hongbo. What confusion is it going to cause? It is
fundamentally the same board, just an Ethernet port stopped having
'status = "disabled"' and another changed role, all inside of the SoC
with no externally-visible change. If anything, I think that creating a
new top-level compatible for each small change like this would create a
bloat-fest of its own.
I was going to suggest as an alternative to define a device tree overlay
file with the changes in the CPU port assignment, instead of defining a
wholly new DTS for the LS1028A reference design board. But I am pretty
sure that it is not possible to specify a /delete-property/ inside a
device tree overlay file, so that won't actually work.
