I didn't notice that at first myself, but I think what Rob means is

- const: dh,imx6s-dhcom-drc02
- const: dh,imx6s-dhcom-som
- const: fsl,imx6dl <------ this should be consistent with the two above

that is

  - const: dh,imx6s-dhcom-drc02
  - const: dh,imx6s-dhcom-som
-- const: fsl,imx6dl
+- const: fsl,imx6s
               ^^^^^

But that is a bit odd here:
- The MX6S is MX6DL with one CPU core disabled.
- The DRC02 device can only house a SOM with MX6S and NOT with MX6DL
(due to some thermal design consideration or something).
- The kernel discerns the MX6S/MX6DL automatically based on the number 
of cores it reads from some register, therefore it only has the 
fsl,mx6dl compatible to cover both MX6S and MX6DL.
So, the closest fallback compatible for this device really is the MX6DL, 
i.e. fsl,imx6dl.

So I think this patch is correct as-is, no ?
