To be clear, this has nothing to do with whether this is strictly a SoC
or not. I would still want to see all the internal components of the
main chip under the soc node, and probably anything that is attached
to one of its interfaces under those nodes. The parts that should not
be under /soc are the ones that are not in the device hierarchy, such
as external clock generators.
