Can I review what I wrote... Perhaps we should put strings in for all
existing drivers in the kernel. This should be a complete list:

arm,pl010
arm,pl011
st,pl011
arm,pl022
st,pl022
st,pl023
arm,pl030
arm,pl031
st,pl031
arm,pl061
arm,pl050
arm,pl080
arm,pl081
st,pl080
arm,pl110
arm,pl180
arm,pl330
arm,sp804
arm,sp805

Otherwise, they may never get added.
