Really. There is none. I have looked into all available P2020 DTB files
(either externals passed by bootloader or kernel in-tree) and there is
no common compatible string. The only "common" thing is cpu node, how I
implemented it int this patch series.

And same issue is with boards with P101x and P102x DTB files.
