I don't feel this is necessary for DT node. The driver should be
able to figure out a proper name for the machine driver: it could
use the compatible string to get "imx8qm-audmix" as the name like
fsl_ssi; Or it could have built-in "imx-audmix" of_device_id data
corresponding to "fsl,imx8qm-audmix" compatible string -- for any
non-imx compatible in the future, use something else.

Thanks
