In the kernel tree, not likely. It may happen if we ever move dts

For SOC files, I think the amount sharing will be limited. While we
will probably see very similar SOCs, I'd guess the memory maps and
irqs will be different. Sharing is going to be limited to things like
daughter boards such as this case.
