Sorry to comment late on this (blame LWM), but I think creating this ABI 
is a mistake. The biggest issue I have is this doesn't scale if every 
SoC does its own thing. We should have a common interface so for example 
userspace can retrieve the serial number from any SoC in the same way. 
Yes, we can have custom attributes, but there should be common base.

Shouldn't this be part of the ADSP driver?

Assuming that the kernel and rootfs are the same image and updated 
together?

Build of what? The kernel already has a build version.

Sounds like a standard attr.

I don't see how userspace should care...

What's a platform?

This is already exposed.

The vendor in the top-level compatible should provide this.

Why do you need both?

RPM driver?

Already have a standard property in DT.

unique per chip or per SoC model?

Already in DT.

Video as in display or video codec? Should be part of the driver.
