FWIW, we have soc_is_tegra() now in include/soc/tegra/common.h which is
meant to be used for exactly this purpose. I agree that it isn't optimal
but it's pretty good. It should be easy to refactor this to make it
callable from a top-level initialization function when a decision
regarding that has been made.
