All NXP documentation refers to this as FRDM-IMX8MPLUS.

But compatible strings have a certain pattern to be followed so
we should really go with: "fsl,imx8mp-frdm",

But for model and all references in text and commit message
we should follow the documentation and use FRDM-IMX8MPLUS.

So, model should be model = "NXP FRDM-IMX8MPLUS";

Thanks,
Daniel.
