This driver exposes a couple of things such as SoC family and SKU
information that is not otherwise available. It also exposes FUSE
data which can be used to calibrate certain devices. Most of the
region that contains the fuses is in the keep-out, so perhaps they
aren't needed on Tegra241.

I suppose things like SoC family and such could be exposed differently.
Not sure if ACPI has other ways to expose that.

Let's see if Kartik can shed some light on this.
