I will look first at the sys_soc driver approach.

I haven't started working on the U-Boot side yet, but I'm planning to do
so as soon as possible. Last time when I checked, there was some initial
support only for the S700 and S900 SoCs, but I will do my best to add
also the S500 to the list.

Thanks,
Cristi
