Hi Conor,

Maybe this has been discussed before but I didn't find it. I'm wondering
the reason of adding each plic and clint binding for each SoC, can we
just use the thead,c900-plic for plic?
FWICT, arm gic dt usage follows this way, there's no binding for each SoC's
gic but directly use "arm,gic-v3" and so on.


Thanks in advance
