It might be easier to think about this in terms of how it integrates
with the existing Samsung CPU support - what are the changes to the
current structure and how will the new CPUs slot into that structure?

It would seem to be much better to integrate your work with the existing
support for your CPUs rather than starting from scratch - there's an
awful lot of continuity in the IPs and it'd seem strange to ignore that.
What are the factors that are pushing you towards starting from scratch?

You probably want to CC him on messages like this - I've added him here.
