I probably had some specific case in mind with that original wording. I
presume it still holds true for some smaller platforms, but I cannot
remember the specific case that prompted it. I'll have to see if I can
figure out which platforms they are (if any) and get the tree added.

 What the SoC tree is not, however, is a location for architecture-specific code
 changes.  Each architecture has its own maintainers that are responsible for
 architectural details, CPU errata and the like.
