I'm trying to differentiate between "check this register content" or
"read this EEPROM" from "parse the device tree, look for compatible
strings".  I'll try and reword this differently.

I'm trying to give some useful examples, but not every example.  So yes,
the check GPIOs A/B/C and see what we get example.

Instead of "simple" I'm going to say hardware based, reword the section
and try and not get too deep in to details.
