Yes $subject patch is a better approach compared to having freq based
handling which just increases the number of macros we need to enable
depending on SoC variants that we spin off the main SoC. This also
allows us to conserve the features bitfield ahead as well.

I hate to admit, but after a couple of generations of SoC spinoffs,
my original logic is proving to be was pretty short sighted,
unfortunately :(

So, approach
