is there a chance to use ARM_CPU_PART_ARM1176 or something else instead
of this magic numbers?

Sorry, i cannot remember the whole discussion but why we can use
different compatible here instead of using ARM specific stuff.

compatible = "brcm,bcm2836-vchiq", "brcm,bcm2835-vchiq"; // for BCM2836/7

compatible = "brcm,bcm2835"; // only for BCM2835
