I'm guessing you're referring to exynos_tmu_data.c? That's not all
that much data, and not all that substantial compared to things like
pinctrl and clocks. Removing those ifdefs per SoC is reasonable.


I'm ok with one Kconfig per family (EXYNOS 4 and 5), but we should
avoid higher granularity than that. That's similar to how OMAP is
handled. i.MX is more granular but they aren't introducing as many
SoCs as Samsung so it's not as big a deal.

What numbers do you want? Size comparisons with all SoC options on vs only one?
