I would rather avoid mixing clock description tables for more SoCs in
clk-exynos4.c. There is quite a few differences between exynos4x12 and
exynos4415 clock controllers, I'm afraid merging exynos4415 support to
clk-exynos4.c would just create more branches and made the code harder
to follow, without much decrease in code size. The clock tree in single
SoC is already complex, without consolidating support for several SoCs
in one unit.
