Ok.  Strictly speaking, I think new conventions say it should be just
"soc@" but I think that might confuse u-boot.

Excellent.

Ok, sounds good.  device_type is a hangover from real OF - where it
advertises what method interface the node supports.  As such it has
little place in flattened trees and should not be used for driver
binding.

Ok, good.
