    drivers/base: add bus for System-on-Chip devices · 74d1d82c
    Lee Jones authored
    Traditionally, any System-on-Chip based platform creates a flat list
    of platform_devices directly under /sys/devices/platform.
    
    In order to give these some better structure, this introduces a new
    bus type for soc_devices that are registered with the new
    soc_device_register() function.  All devices that are on the same
    chip should then be registered as child devices of the soc device.
    
    The soc bus also exports a few standardised device attributes which
    allow user space to query the specific type of soc.
