The C code will be more maintainable and offer more opportunities to refactor across OMAP flavours - perhaps OMAP4 as well. I'm also interested in code reuse across other SoCs. We've got to be able to shut down the ARM core using common code instead of each SoC copying buggy code from each other. Could you list reasons why you don't think the code is re-usable?
