I'd like to hear more opinions on this. We could either rely
on the generic code, or we could keep the entry with just
the .dt_compat line and the name, so /proc/cpuinfo contains
a meaningful platform name.

Either approach works for me, but I think we should do this
consistent across platforms. Olof, do you have an opinion?
