What is hamoa-iot?

Later patches claim this is a SoM, so explain here why you are not
expecting it to be used outside of EVK (not following standard SoM rules
like every other vendor)?

Isn't this obvious from the schema?

Not relevant. This is x1e80100 SoC. We do not explain that
microsoft,romulus15 is using fallback x1e80100, do we?

You explain less relevant topics but you do not explain the main
concerns here. It does not matter how you name your board. Can be hamoa,
can be lemans - we don't care about board names.
