I know this has been a push for our IPC and MCU+ teams for a couple
windows now, though I do want to point out that some AM62A devices
(AM62A12AQMSIAMBRQ1) will not even have a C7x.

It's relatively easy to cut nodes out that describe the hardware in the
bootloaders, but once we start configuring them to demo something it
becomes impossible to unwind that during boot.

We can clam we only support the superset devices but I just wanted to
make this email so I could point people to it when they inevitably ask
why their parts do not work out of the box with Linux.
