Sorry for not providing the background directly. The patches before this
series used that approach. In the previous discussions it has been pointed
out that it is not acceptable to have additional device tree bindings for
providing data that the driver wants at the SoC node level or to have bindings
just for the SoC bus driver alone since we aren't really describing the
hardware.
