But if you have a look on STM32F7 SPI [1], you'll see that STM32F7 SPI is based on STM32F4 SPI with new features (data frames & FIFOs) also available on STM32H7 SPI. That's why STM32H7 SPI driver was called spi-stm32. The goal was to use compatible & match data to differentiate each STM32Fx specificities. You can have a look on how it is managed in drivers/rtc/rtc-stm32.c (the same driver covers 2 HW version of STM32 RTC), or in drivers/iio/dac/stm32-dac-core.c and stm32-dac.c (the same driver also covers 2 HW version of STM32 DAC). As your spi-stm32f4.c file is highly based on the existing spi-stm32.c file, I think that common code could be factored and specificities could be handled with compatible and match data.
