I don't know what question you're asking (the questions don't make sense
in terms of the quoted context.)

If you're asking whether you should use a cpu_ prefix instead of a soc_
prefix for identifying s3c64xx, then consider the question.

What is the CPU?

What are S3C64xx / OMAP / PXA310 / SA-11x0 / AT91RM9200?  CPU or SoC ?
What are Cortex A8/A9 / Xscale / StrongARM / ARM920?  CPU or SoC ?
