This compatible is present in a QMC channel.
The parent node (the QMC itself) contains a compatible with device/SoC:
--- 8< ---
  compatible:
    items:
      - enum:
          - fsl,mpc885-scc-qmc
          - fsl,mpc866-scc-qmc
      - const: fsl,cpm1-scc-qmc
--- 8< ---

At the child level (ie QMC channel), I am not sure that adding device/SoC
makes sense. This compatible indicates that the QMC channel is handled by
the QMC HDLC driver.
At this level, whatever the device/SoC, we have to be QMC compliant.

With these details, do you still think I need to change the child (channel)
compatible ?

Will be moved to the first property in the next iteration.
