I would argue that imx7d is not correct since the IP blocks between
imx7d and imx8mm have different flags/quirks.  One of which includes
HS400-ES, but there are other differences as well.

From my understanding of the fallback compatibility strings is to
avoid having to add more and more compatible strings to the drivers
when they do not serve a functional purpose. Based On a conversation
with Krzysztof [1], he suggested we update the YAML file based on the
fallback, but he wanted NXP to give their feedback as to what the
right fallback strings should be.  Haibo from NXP sent me a hierarchy
[1] which is what I used to update the YAML file.  Based on the YAML
file, the fallback in each DTSI file was updated to ensure the use of
the proper IP block.
