  • 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.
