This would look good indeed, but there are some drawbacks:
- it would not scale nicely for future SoCs using the new FIMD
- it would add the overhead of checking SoC ID for every access to affected 
registers (at least 1 load, 1 AND, 1 compare, 1 move and 1 conditional OR, so 
5 instructions in total, possibly even more, as opposed to a single load from 
a variant struct).

I would stay with the way used in s3c-fb driver, using variant structs 
describing FIMD revisions.
