Why not put this inside the soc file? This would be the first time we
add a new file for something that's inside the SoC node that probably
won't change thereafter. At least for pins I slightly agree with having
a different file, we're adding more and more things there so it's nice
to have a consolidated place of all possible configurations to choose
from. But here it's mostly a static device description so what's the gain?
