Now you just duplicated all the compatibles, and now any new compatibles 
have to be added in 2 places. For this to work, you have to split 
ci-hdrc-usb2.yaml into 2 files. One with all the common properties and 
one with compatibles (minus imx). This is also needed if imx has any 
extra properties the other don't.

Didn't I say this already?
