I would advise to restructure these three for forward planning:

Use const only for the SoC compatible.

For the boards use an enum with (for now) only the one entry. This 
affects the description, which may mislead people to duplicate these 
blocks for each board rather than just for each SoC family. Take a look 
at other existing files (e.g., my realtek.yaml and actions.yaml, but 
note they don't have the new-style description line yet - I assume it'll 
work the same in enum as in your oneOf).

"70mai Co., Ltd." please - don't just repeat the prefix.

If you split the vendor prefixes to a preceding patch, they have a 
chance of getting Reviewed-bys more quickly. You can then also CC the 
vendors on the prefixes you're assigning for them.

In theory it's spelled Armv7 since 2017, but MAINTAINERS, subject prefix 
conventions and many other places in Linux still use the old upper-case 
spelling, too...
