I'm still a bit unsure about the set of attributes here.

- The "soc_id" is read from the device tree from the field that contains
  the board name, I think for consistency you should try to map the
  GCR_CHIPID to the name of the SoC and assign that here

- The "machine" is hardcoded to "NUC900EVB", which in turn looks like
  a particular board but not the one you are running on. Maybe read
  that from the DT instead?

- The "revision" is not filled at all, I would suggest using something
  derived from the GCR_CHIPID register here

- you have two nonstandard attributes "chipid" and "version", which
  I'd hope to avoid -- the set of standard attributes is supposed to
  give enough information about the machine, and platform independent
  user space will never read those.
