OK. We can today support multiple clock and pinctrl drivers.
Minimising code size is a separate issue to actually making it work.

For SoC init we can use compatible strings to select the init - as you
say, moving to common SPL/TPL is a useful step, but in fact this is
not necessary for use to use a common U-Boot proper. I believe the
main requirement is to create a new config with additional drivers,
then make SPL select the correct DT.

But my concern is that your series to move things to #include asm/arch
precludes supporting more than one SoC. So if we want this, we should
leave things as they are.

If you like I could create a proof of concept for this for two chosen SoCs?
