The soc_id support looks ok

Please drop these lines in the submission, the IDs are
not reachable outside of your own git, so we don't want
these to show up in the public history.

I would suggest something more descriptive in the "family"
field to let users know they are on an Ambarella SoC.

Maybe just "Ambarella 10nm".

Is there anything else in this syscon node? If the block
of registers only contains the identification bits, you
could just make this file a platform_driver that binds to
the node instead of using a syscon.

If there are other unrelated registers in there, the compatible
string should probably be changed to better describe the
entire area based on the name in the datasheet.

Which drivers use this bit? Can they be changed to 
use soc_device_match() instead to avoid the export?

It is not an error to use a chip from another manufacturer,
please drop the pr_err() and return success here.

The ambarella_proc_dir looks like a stale entry that should be
removed. Ideally you should not need a private header at all.
