I didn't consider the single image scenario. Because as far as I know,
the existing Samsung code doesn't have support for building a single kernel
image for multiple SoCs.

The intention behind my changes were
1) To reuse the dev-spi files for all the SoCs, as this reduces the code size.
Also future SoCs with SPI can use the same file.
2) To be in line with other IPs like i2c,sdhci etc
