I hope to find a good way to use import for microcontroller

-Because there would be some things that can be recycled for all
microcontrollers, and there will be a lot of different device
types.
Things that can be recycled would be carefully written drivers,
such as LCD drivers that uses the SPI protocol. The SPI interface
itself cannot be recycled, though, as each device has different
SPI hardware and different GPIO hardware.
It could also be 'minimalistic memory handlers' and other
algorithms, which do not know anything about hardware.
It might be possible to make a CMSIS which can be recycled as
well.
