What I do here is just wanna to let
linux could print similar information as what SM shows in its console:

>$ info
SM Version = Build 677, Commit 49a36aaf
SM Config = mx95evk, mSel=0
Board = i.MX95 EVK, attr=0x00000000
Silicon = i.MX95 B0
Boot mode = normal
Boot device = SD2
Boot stage = primary
Boot set = 1
ECID = 0x7BADEECC000001D40001300963E636F1
PMIC 0 (0x08) = 0x20, 0x09, 0x20, 0x00, 0x01
PMIC 1 (0x2A) = 0x54, 0x22, 0x00, 0x0B
PMIC 2 (0x29) = 0x55, 0x22, 0x00, 0x0A
Compiler = gcc 14.2.1 20241119

With soc_device_register, dumping the silicon information needs use the
other sysfs interface. Here with this patchset, reading one sysfs file could
dump all the information.

But anyway, ok to drop this patch.

Thanks,
