All soc_is_exynosxxxx() dependent code gets thrown away is specific SoC
support is not selected.  With this change this is not longer true.
Moreover some drivers are doing explicit ifdef checks for specific SoC

I think so but some numbers to back it up would be good..

Well, once again, seeing some numbers would be good. :)
