Yes, please drop it.

It seems several Marvel boards and bindings use wrong convention for
compatibles. We discussed it here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/1ed03960-77f6-1a9e-2378-07a6c51f42f7@linaro.org/
AC5 and CN9130 have the same wrong patterns.

Entries in enum should be ordered alphabetically. Then the entire set "-
description: Globalscale Espressobin boards" should have some logical
order, not necessarily by name.

Anyway this is not a requirement but rather suggestion because having
things ordered reduces amount of conflicts when two people add new
boards (because they add it not at the end, but somewhere in the middle
following some order).
