Yep, these are all Cortex-M cores. It's just that their usage differs quite a lot.

Ideally I would have wanted to place the compatible inside dsp/fsl,dsp.yaml as the
programming model would have been more similar.

Unfortunately, these are different physical devices (HiFi DSP core vs CM core) even
though they're all used for DSP purposes so I'm not sure this is entirely appropriate.

Alternatively, if you think grouping these devices (i.e: those represented by the -dsp compatibles
from fsl,dsp and the one represented by the compatible introduced here) under the same binding
is alright we can just branch off from fsl,dsp and fsl,imx-rproc and create a new binding for
these devices. I'm expecting this to be relatively clean as they have the same programming
model.

Let me know your thoughts on this.
