Well, if there is a well defined common "core" of the both 
implementations, e.g., common register set (or at least most of them), 
then, I think, it would make sense to split the current cafe_ccic, extract 
that core and reuse it... It is always an interesting decision, whether 
two devices are similar enough or not.
