This is one reason that doing all the initialization from separate
initcalls sucks. Much better to have a single top-level initialization
function that calls exactly what is needed, only what is needed, and
only runs on the correct SoCs.

But failing that, I guess you need to say something like
of_is_compatible(root node, "nvidia Tegra"), but of course the
definition of "nvidia Tegra" is an ever-growing list of possible values
that needs to be used from each separate initcall...
