I don't have v1 in my inbox, and this wasn't addressed in v3 either. But
copy/pasted off the archives:

"Don't you want to have a driver data or so associated with this?"

These drivers are super simple, and I doubt they will end up with
multiple tags per driver, so it seems unlikely we'd ever need it.
Additionally, struct coreboot_device already includes the tag
information, so anything that could be included in driver data could be
parsed out by the driver at probe time, if absolutely needed.
