Yes, it does, but searching for the SOC node is not straight-forward
because there is no common compatibility string but many CPU-specific
compatibility strings, e.g. "fsl,mpc8560-immr", etc. Have I missed
something?

Unfortunately, other 85xx functions search for the device type "soc" as
well. Therefore I think we must keep the devices type "soc" for the time
being. Kumar?
