All code in this file must only be run on H3, otherwise everything else
will fail too. So we don't have extra checks for that anywhere, the SoC
version is a compiletime option for all sunxi code.

H3 Datasheet v1.2 page 152 (VER_BITS), but only the 0x24, 0xf0 is from
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux/blob/sun8i/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/sunxi-chip.c#L338-L341
