All 3 are different and no compatibility?

Oops.  Thanks for catching that.

This was all based on a series from NXP's repo where they have some
data tables all associated to the various compatible entries, and they
created a place holder for quirks.  Based on an older NXP repo, it
seems like there might be some quirks associated to the different
families, but the newer repo where I got this patch series didn't
implement them, however, it's possible the quirks may enhance
functionality later. If that's true, I think this is the best solution
for future enhancements without having to change the compatibility
names down the road.  Maybe someone from NXP can comment?  I am just
trying to help push things upstream so we can support QSPI flash.  I
would prefer to keep them separate for now, because we might have
these improvements later. However, I'll do what you request.  Do you
want me to drop the additional compatible flags and just use the
original, or create a new one that's a bit more generic?

Neither.

If you already know that they have differences, then as-is is fine.

If they are believed to be 'the same', then you do:

compatible = "nxp,imx8qxp-fspi", "nxp,imx8mm-fspi";

assuming i.MX8MM was the first version.

This allows a MX8QXP to work without OS changes if the driver already
supports the previous chip. And if any quirks are found, then the OS
can handle them without a DT change.
