We decided not to alter the names after the fact, but for imx8 product family we noticed the same
problem.
Anyway, to avoid this whole issue, please name the defconfig and the device tree to imx93-phyboard-
segin. This avoids the challenge of naming configs when you have multiple carrier boards supported
for the same SoM. Further, for the board/phytec/ dir, only phytec board code is in there, so you may
stick to the phytec naming convention (i.e. phycore_imx93 as Primoz suggested). This also allows to
reuse the phycore code (see imx8mm-phygate-tauri-l for reference).
