Hm, what is a viable device? Probably the most SoC specific device in
the SoC? Currently, all three devices we read from do have a
vf610-something compatible string, hence would be SoC specific (ocotp,
ocrom and mscm-cpucfg). Probably the last is the most SoC specific...

But somehow bind to just a random device sounds wrong to me. Couldn't we
add a more specific compatible string to the soc node and bind to that?
