ok. thanks for pulling.

No problem to postpone to the next release and discuss it more.

Currently all devices listed in dts/dtsi are all hard IPs
inside PS silicon that's why I think they should be the part of SoC.
(zynq-devcfg is also hard IP present all the time in SoC
I will use different compatible string in the next version
xlnx,zynq-devcfg-1.0).

For devices in PL is situation different because only axi-axi bridge
is present in PS that's why I think that new bus type should
be used. Also this bridge provides some resets which can be
provided through this bus bridge driver.

Current code do this:

root at zynq:~# cat /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/revision
0x0
root at zynq:~# cat /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/soc_id
0x7
root at zynq:~# cat /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/family
Xilinx Zynq
root at zynq:~# ls /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/
amba.0        f8891000.pmu  power         soc_id        uevent
amba.1        family        revision      subsystem

amba.0 is the bus present in zynq-7000.dtsi
amba.1 is bus I have added myself just locally which is
axi2axi bridge mentioned above.

All devices which will be in PL will be connected to this amba.1
bus.

Regarding clk driver in slcr node is not listed there.

root at zynq:~# ls /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/amba.0/f8000000.slcr/
driver/    modalias   power/     subsystem/ uevent


Then we have also ACP (accelerator coherency port) which is the
same case as axi2axi bridge. It means it is fixed hardware in SoC
part and devices can be connect to it
(It looks like arm-cci bus type).

I know that others SoC are using soc {} node for adding
soc IPs but that's not our case at least for now.

If you think that SOC bus should just contain SoC specific
things then we can call of_platform_populate without SoC bus
parent to ensure that these devices are not listed there.

Please correct me if something doesn't fit.

Thanks,
Michal
