Subject: [RFC] base: soc: Add few more soc details in soc attribute

The commit adds three more fields in the generic soc attribute structure.
The vendor field provides information about SoC vendor, it may be argued
that vendor is more or less conveying the same information as family but
nonetheless there is nothing preventing two vendors from having similar
family names for their socs. Also family and vendor fields combined
together provide a more thorough information.
The serial_num field would contain serial number of the soc.
Lastly as the same soc can come from multiple foundries, involving
different processes, having a foundry_id field to convey this information
can be useful.
