That's the idea.

I initially had it all as part of soc_device_register, but Arnd told me
to remove it in this patch-set.

See here:

Hence all of these are the _standard_ attributes:

>> +    .get_family_fn   = ux500_get_family,
>> +    .get_soc_id_fn   = ux500_get_soc_id,
>> +    .get_revision_fn = ux500_get_revision,

And this is the _non standard_ one:

Which is subsequently added by the platform.

Kind regards,
