If we add machine_desc structure back, we could print which machine was
matched. But so far I try to keep the SoC code to a minimum and just do
the probing later in the SoC code (of_find_matching_node). Ideally we
shouldn't have any SoC code and just keep code in drivers but we'll see
how far we can get. We can discuss more details at the KS as I would
like the arm-soc team to get involved here.

Interesting approach, I wonder if it'll scale, in particular if it comes
to needing to do early setup and init. For device-level setup, generic
will probably work just fine. And if it doesn't, things can be changed
later. So it sounds like a good start.

Definitely something we should discuss. I suggest not doing it at KS
though, since only half of the arm-soc team is invited there. So the
ARM mini-summit or hallway around LPC is a better venue.

I was indeed thinking of the ARM mini-summit or hallway discussions.
The KS has different topics and it wouldn't have been of wide interest
anyway.
