You have to fix this, you have to be able to handle other keys as well.
In case your hardware does not support it, you have to handle this in
software. Look at the geode driver, via or s390. All of them have
fallbacks for. If you fail the self test, you driver will no be used
afaik.

You German right? You should handle this in SoC code. So if you figure
out, that you have an engine here you add the device. If you don't have
it you don't do it and the probe call won't be called. Also the module
won't be loaded by udev.

What does it do? You don't want to add devices here. If you need
something additional do it in SoC code and pass it via platform_data.
