AM64,AM62x/A/P are from different product line (Sitara) and don't have
any other aliases.

On the other hand, Jacinto SoCs have both J7xx variant and AM6xx part
numbers. Its being really unpredictable wrt when AM6xx variants of
Jacinto devices come out. So as a general rule, we name the DTS files
based on the name of the first device that comes out in the market which
has consistently been J7xx.
