Sorry, I did think that I had tried hard to eliminate the common code
from the two SoCs... looking at it after the event it seems that there
is still a bit of work to do.
 
This unfrotunately doesn't really solve the solution fully for the
plat-s5p case just yet, as these SoCs may be similar but have a few
problems with respect to the peripheral placement and some of the
more interestesting configurations.

It may be we just accept the compromise of repeated header files and
deal with this once we've sorted out exactly what we want to do.
