Anything can register a soc_device, and I think there is a case
where both the actual SoC and a firmware driver each register
one, see drivers/firmware/smccc/soc_id.c and 
drivers/firmware/imx/imx-scu-soc.c.

Not sure how common this is, but this was something that people
asked for when we created the interface.
