We already did this exemplary for Exynos 5250, which is the Samsung Galaxy S4 platform. Unfortunately, these platforms or SoCs are not very well documented, if at all (e.g., Snapdragon). With the only well documented SoC (Texas Instrument's OMAP) gone, smartphone platforms have become really really hard to deploy without having manufacturer support.
