I disagree, I think this belongs under drivers/soc. Especially since
you're adding dependencies on this misc driver from other parts of the
kernel / other drivers.

I also don't like seeing init calls form platform code down into
drivers/misc like you're adding here. Can you please look at doing
that as a regular init call setup?

The fact that you provide data to the rest of the kernel again really
says drivers/soc to me, not drivers/misc.

Yes?
