Exactly: that's the mbus-compatible node. I'll clarify a bit the documentation
so this is clearer.
I kept the 'soc' name in the examples as that's the name in the dts files.
Do you think I should rename to 'mbus' in the dts files?
I haven't done that since that would imply to change all the dts

Thanks for the help,
