Thanks for your comment.

For mt8188, the old name 'soc' came from a document by MTK, which is not
public: MT8188G Functional Specification. This document does not explain
what 'soc' are/do exactly, it just says that some temperature sensors are
located on them.

Then, there was a comment about these 'soc' names:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ff12e104-da8b-4800-bfbe-a006ffe1b840@collabora.com/

So, I had a discussion with MTK to understand what these 'soc1/2/3'
are/do. The new names comes from this discussion and were given by MTK.

For the other SoC of this series (mt8186), the same kind of document exists
(MT8186G Functional Specification) and explains what 'soc' are/do exactly:
('cam', 'dsp', 'nna'...which are used in 'mt8186.dtsi').
Using the same logic in 'mt8188.dtsi' would be more consistent. Besides,
these names are more explicit.
