These are different SoCs, optionally with different firmware, so they cannot use the same top-level compatible chain. I hope you did not propose that. For me list like "qcs9100, sa8775p" is clear enough, but if you want "qcs9100, koala-bear" or "brown-bear, koala-bear" it is fine as well. You just cannot use koala-bear for all of them.
