I wonder if it's possible to dynamically generate the compatible
string by using the SOC name?

Where are you going to get the SoC name from?

Well, that is why I said "I wonder".   I'm disappointed that the "cpus"
node doesn't help much.  You'd think the name of the CPU would be in the
CPU node somewhere.

The SoC is not the CPU.  The CPU is e500v2.

Why is this different from anywhere else where we have a list of
compatibles to match, often based on various SoCs?  Note that we
explicitly want to match only certain SoCs here.
