This driver doesn't seem to have exported symbols, and no in-kernel
users. So how will it be used?

Usually we ask to hold off until the consuming side/drivers are also ready.

Also, is there a reason this is under drivers/soc/ instead of somewhere more
suitable in the drivers subsystem? It's not "soc glue code" in the same way as
drivers/soc was intended originally.
