This does not answer the concern - it's not the same SoC. The most
generic compatible denotes the most common part. I would argue that
instruction set and architecture are the most important differences.
None of ARMv8 SoCs (SoCs, not CPU cores) have "arm,armv8" compatible and
you went even more - you combined two architectures in the most generic
compatibles.

I don't see this related to the topic at all. What board do you use,
does not matter. The board does not change the fact these SoCs have
entirely different architecture - ARMv8 and RISC-V.
