The bindings, added in commit 53b61224ca40 ("dt-bindings: arm: fsl: Add
TechNexion boards"), describe that these are the only valid compatibles.
"technexion,imx6dl-pico" is not valid and would require changing the
bindings, thus breaking compatibility which you want to avoid.

The bindings, not what is present in DTS, is considered ABI.
