If _just_ this patch is merged, it creates a build problem as
CONFIG_LS1_SOC_DRIVERS can be enabled, which will cause the kbuild to
decend into drivers/soc/fsl/ls1, where it will stop due to the missing
build error.

Please fix this by adding at least an empty Makefile to this directory.
Do not rely on patch 2 being merged to "fix" this.
