Thank you very much, I'll do that.

If I understand correctly, maintainers doesn't want the use of wildcards 
as generic compatibles [1]. They prefer to use the most basic SoC as the 
generic compatible.
Is the CV1800 a real SoC or is it just a kind of wildcard to say CV18* ?

To avoid the issue of falling back on a wildcard I planned to do this 
instead:
properties:
   compatible:
     const: sophgo,cv1800b-saradc
