Since these devices are strictly part of this SoC making this asumption 
should be OK. Making assumption about the machine may be a valid argument 
although this series already makes that asumption for 405 machines by 
introducing the machine state class. We need a way to share these device 
models between 4xx mahines so I think some assumptions will proabbly be 
needed.

OK looks like I could not convince you so I let you and Cédric decide what 
you do and leave this alone. Thanks for sharing insights it was a useful 
discussion.
