Our SoC is produced as an internal product. So SoC specifications aren't
widely available.

Here is an example of a Cisco product which uses this SoC,

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9200-series-switches/nb-06-cat9200-ser-data-sheet-cte-en.html

I suspect that's not really what your looking for tho.

Arnd, I must regretfully inform you that Cisco has a deep dark addiction to
bootloaders which, are, um, how do I say this diplomatically, um , brain dead.

You have some other comments below related to moving things into the bootloader,
and I can look into it, but bootloader inflexibility is wide spread inside
Cisco.

It's a device, but the driver is not submitted. I can remove it along with the
other device driver binding we have where the drivers and bindings aren't submitted.

I'll do my best to fix the comments your given an resubmit.
