Does this add anything? Not sure we need to split compatibles based on this, things
like wifi vs nowifi can be described in DT, same for different memory size models, etc..
In fact I'm not sure we get much value at all out of top level whole-SoC compatible
strings. Maybe we did when there was matching in kernel to do device specific fixups,
but that isn't really used much in ARM64.

This is useful, as an example, once you add DT overlays to the mix and
you use the compatible to match for "compatibility". An overlay could be
compatible with the SoC, with the SoM (module + SoC) or with the
complete board (Soc + SoM + carrier board).
Our system is modular and this is described with this multiple layer of
DT compatibles and with a similar layering of dtsi includes.
On the wifi vs non-wifi topic, that is IMO the most conflicting one, the
main reason is that the SoM has different assembly options, and this
affects the pinmux and the functionality available to the carrier, up to
the SoM edge connector (this could make an overlay compatible only with
a board with/without-wifi). As an example there is a SDIO interface
that is used for the on-SoM Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi/BT variant, or available
on the edge connector otherwise. An overlay using this SDIO interface
would be compatible only with the non-wifi variant. Additional GPIOs or
other signals might have the exact same situations.
On this last variant (wifi vs non-wifi) I am not sure how often is used,
we have the exact same approach with multiple NXP i.MX based boards and it
proved itself to work fine.

Seems fine to me, provided the platform maintainers are okay with it!

If you are arguing about const: ti,am625 - there is a bunch more other
S/w systems that use compatibles for various purposes in addition to
usage in userspace (test systems etc) that benefit. Unless there is a
ARM64 wide trend to drop it, I don't see a reason to have a discussion
on that.

Strictly speaking it does.
However it's convenient to have a tuple with more generic compatible
afterward.
I tried to explain some of the reasoning for that on this email [1].
More in general this tuple of compatible is matching how the actual system
is layered (SoC -> base SoM -> SoM variant -> carrier board) that is
also reflected on the dtsi include hierarchy.
FWIW, this is the standard approach you can see on fsl.yaml, where such
kind of modular system are pretty much standard.

If I understand correctly, this is different SoM, so different hardware.
It is fine to have different board compatibles, because you will have
two different DTS.
