looking at authors in the git-log of arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm-evk.dts -> +=email.to
@NXP: how are you telling the different EVK versions apart internally?

by a year/timestamp, revision, name, features, ...?

maybe we could apply that "naming convention" for the devictree files and compatible strings here as well?

since we only know of the obvious change: the different pmic compared to the previous version
this difference is/was the sole motivation for this new devicetree, since bootloaders (like barebox) depend on the correct one beeing used during board initialization
