This doesn't seem right to document here. If anything you might want to have a table of more-specific-compatibles for specific implementations, but "arm,scpi" should still be the compatible of the node (just not the most specific one).
Also, documenting it here indiciates that non-amlogic implementations can/should use that compatible, which is misleading.

Maybe you'd be better of with a meson-specific document that refers to these but with different compatible values.
Come to think of it, the Juno-specific one maybe shouldn't be in arm,scpi at all, since that adds confusion here.
It's somewhat confusing that ARM is both a platform, architecture and in some cases implementer of specific systems. :)

Same here. It won't scale if all vendors are expected to add an entry here.
