I tried when I was still at Samsung and the outcome was far from being nice. There are certain differences, such as separate address spaces of few clock controllers and different bit fields in apparently similar registers, which made resulting code quite ugly. Also another advantage of separate driver is that it can be made without duplicating initial fails of the driver for Exynos4, such as private bindings for external clocks or clock controllers in different power domains grouped together into one big logical clock controller, because at development time they looked so (contiguous address space).
