No, even thought it looks like, we are not intending to here. we are
fixing a sysfs break.

soc_is_dra7xx() is still based on machine_of_ compatible - we have'nt
touched that here. What is taking place at the moment is that
/sys/devices/soc0/ sysfs entries are being populated in same way as
AM437x and other DT only platforms. Currently we follow the same style
as non-dt code as OMAP3 still co-exist DT+non-DT - we have not yet
introduced a new driver for soc device - but once we go full DT, we
probably should do that at the root of the entire dt tree (similar  to
what tegra has done) and populare soc sysfs with proper values. Now,
if that generic driver decides to use only OF-information for
revision, That is good as well -> so far, there has been no attempt to
support such a revision binding (despite our discussion).
