I think your referring to the term "SoC (system-on-chip)" is confusing (at least for me). You rather consider companion chips than SoCs.
Yes, any chip integrating a number of controllers could be considered as a system-on-chip but if the chip doesn't make sense without some master chip (processor) I'd consider the chip as a companion (to the processor) chip.
