Assumption is, soc drivers send their custom attribute group and soc
framework has already soc_attr_group" (basic info exposed).
With my changes i am combining these two groups and passing to
"device_register()".
I do not think soc drivers have a requirement where they can pass various
groups rather one single group attribute.
Ok, I guess this is "good enough" such that no individual SOC driver
will want to create subdirs and lots of fun like that. If they do, then
we can change the api at that point in time :)
