Why is this different from anywhere else where we have a list of
compatibles to match, often based on various SoCs?  Note that we
explicitly want to match only certain SoCs here.

I was just hoping to find a way to avoid an ever increasing list of
compatible strings. 

PCI drivers have to put up with it, why should we be different? :-)

Other posts on this thread imply that this code could
work for all multi-core e500 parts.

That list covers all multi-core e500v2 parts that I know of.  Corenet
based chips will need a slightly different implementation, since the
registers are different.
