One comment that came up in other reviews is that we shouldn't have a
single driver that switches on the SoC type it's running on and then
dispatches to different ${soc}_init() functions, but rather should have
multiple separate drivers, where each probe calls some utility function
with the appropriate SoC parameterization structures/tables.

IIRC, it was SPEAr, and I appear to have already converted Tegra to that
scheme.

Should we do the same conversion for nomadik too?

Aside from that, the series looks fine.
