These devices share the same "compatible" in device tree causing some incompatibilities (sysupgrades, ASU profile identification), assign a unique "compatible" and "model" to each variant. Context: Commit [1] added each variant's dts compatible to the SUPPORTED_DEVICES field of the other variant to make easy sysupgrades between these physically indistinguishable devices variants possible. But there were found three issues which does not allow this: - the sysupgrade's stricter check still used in some sysupgrade paths(this check is being replaced(and redundant) with the newer fwtool's SUPPORTED_DEVICES check using the info in images METADATA), this check will fail when sysupgrading from a different board_name(compatible dts) that the image was created for (image profile name).[2] - ASU needs unique "dts compatible" to identify the devices profile. - and an ASU's profile identification limitation when several devices from a common target share SUPPORTED_DEVICES entries.[3] There is a proposal for these issues but not yet implemented [4][3]. Until these issues are fixed we won't allow "easy" sysupgrades between these two device variants. Commit [5] avoided the ASU profile identification limitation but missed the required two unique dts compatibles in order to make the two variants fully work, although not allowing easy sysupgrade between them.
