It depends on what the driver is for.  Probably you want a driver which
is some combination of machine driver and the various drivers that are
normally part of the SoC - whatever roles in the system are filled by
this hardware the driver ought to register subsystem drivers for those
roles.

What makes you say this?  A driver that can't access hardware would be
rather useless...
