Okay, I will do what Sergei is suggesting then.

Lets not extend davinci_soc_info any further. We need to be looking
at ways of reducing its usage (for example by making GPIO code use
platform device).

Also, refclk is a board information not soc information so placing
it there makes it misplaced.

That's not very elegant as well. SoC information structure for a given
SoC should be private to the SoC specific file. Making it public will
open it up for abuse.
