This looks like you're moving in the wrong direction.

If the chips are just slightly different, you'd certainly
want to make sure that you can detect the difference at runtime,
and be able to use the same kernel on all of the variants.

Instead, you promote each of the SOCs to a top-level family
in this patch, which makes it impossible to build a kernel
for more than one of them at a time.
