OK, looked down that path a bit more and looking through mach-omap2/id.c
and soc.h, I see some of the part number infrastructure build on top of
DEV_FEATURE bits for some SoCs. The DEVICE_ID registers only have the
generic family and the Silicon Revision number for AM33xx and AM437x and
we currently do not have any infrastructure around exact SoC
identification for AM33xx and AM437x atleast.

Do you have the bit-field split for the DEV_FEATURE bits somewhere,
because I couldn't find any in either the DM or the TRM. On AM437x,
there is no difference between AM4372 and AM4376 DEV_FEATURE value even
though the former doesn't have the PRUSS. On AM335x, may be bit 0
signifies the presence of PRUSS??
