No, there is no such rule, but adding lots of #ifdef checks in this
file would be much less readable and more error-prone, as you'd
have to make sure the two #ifdef blocks around the structure
match the one for the ID table, and any function that is called
by more than one SoC has the correct combination of A || B || D
checks, and nobody ever gets that right.
