Add a generic driver for platforms which populate their ACPI PPTT
processor package ID Type Structure according to suggestion in the ACPI
spec - see ACPI 6.2, section 5.2.29.3 ID structure Type 2.
The soc_id is from member LEVEL_2_ID.
For this, we need to use a whitelist of platforms which are known to
populate the structure as suggested.
For now, only the vendor and soc_id fields are exposed.

Hi Sudeep,
What do you want to match this ? The same silicon can end up with
different OEMs and this list just blows up soon for single SoC if
used by different OEM/ODMs. I assume we get all the required info
from the Type 2 table entry and hence can just rely on that. If
PPTT has type 2 entry, just initialise this soc driver and expose
the relevant information from the table entry.
As before, the LEVEL_1_ID and LEVEL_2_ID table members are too open to
interpretation in the spec to generate a consistent form soc_id and
family_id for all platforms.
As such, I was trying to limit to known PPTT implementations and how
they should be interpreted. Obviously that's *far* from ideal.
So what's your idea? Just always put LEVEL_1_ID and LEVEL_2_ID in soc
driver family_id and soc_id fields, respectively?
Thanks,
John
