I don't have a strong opinion on things that are defined in FPGA
logic, they could be below soc0, in a separate soc1 node or
in some other top-level bus.

What I was mostly thinking of is board-level devices that are
not part of the soc address hierarchy, such as external clocks
or leds that just use GPIO lines.
