Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini at konsulko.com>

And after checking in Linux real quick, a follow-up to move the TI
Keystone code from drivers/soc/keystone to drivers/soc/ti/ would be good
for overall consistency.  I see why this new stuff is under
drivers/soc/ti/ so we should move the other keystone stuff over to
follow.
