I'm sorry. Given your comment I think I did not understand how these 
entries are supposed to work.
So perhaps you can provide some guidance based on my explanation?:

- NXP LX2162 is a smaller physical package of the same LX2160 SoC, with 
reduced IOs and some silicon blocks disabled.
- SolidRun LX2162 SoM is essentially a different form factor of LX2160 CEX
- SolidRun LX2162 Clearfog is the reference platform for the SoM. 
Despite it's naming similarity to clearfog-cx, it has a different 
feature set more similar to SolidRun Armada 388 Clearfog Pro

So I believed I could just add to the existing entry "SolidRun LX2160A 
based Boards" also the new LX2162 Board & SoM.
I see now that adding a fourth const messes upthe existing 3-part 
compatible for those already existing boards.

Please can you confirm if it would have been more correct to replace 
"const: solidrun,lx2160a-cex7" with an enum?:
enum:
   - solidrun,lx2160a-cex7
   - solidrun,lx2162a-som

Finally, is it okay to add a "solidrun,clearfog" given my explanation 
above, or should it be more specific "solidrun,lx2162a-clearfog"?
