Well, referenced patch was mixing MMIO with non-MMIO, so Olof's comment
could be understood that this is not correct approach. Even though DT
spec shows examples of "soc", it is not required. But then how do you
implement any ordering? By name or by unit address?

IOW, I think this is the only platform not using "soc" nodes.
