What would be duplicated? You want to support a new SoC, just add a new
entry in the of_match_table and you're done. When you need to add
SoC/integration specific stuff, create a struct and attach a different
instance per-compatible so that each SoC can have its own configuration
(or even init sequence if needed). That's how we do for pretty much all
IPs out there, why should designware ones be different?
To be more specific, I'd like a real example that shows why the
separation is needed.
Ok no problem. We can delay this for PCI and other rules support.
