You can possibly have a look at the AT91 processor support
(arch/arm/mach-at91/) for an example.

We have the SoC processor support files (eg, at91rm9200.c and
at91rm9200_devices.c), and a separate file for the various different
boards (eg, board-dk.c, board-eb9200.c, board-kb9202.c).

[The support for the other SoC's in the AT91 family is also in that
directory, so that's why there are other at91*.c and at91*_devices.c
files]
