As I understand you would like to rename /soc8548 node to /soc and make 
a simple path lookup like following:
- soc = find_node_by_devtype(NULL, "soc");
+ soc = finddevice("/soc");
Is this correct?

But fsl_soc code still uses of_find_node_by_type so we can't remove 
device_type property from node /soc and therefor simplify device tree.

Thanks,
Alexandr
