This is fairly common in the arm world, and a number of drivers support multiple arm socs/ip cores, some from hisilicon in fact. For instance "hisilicon,fmc-spi-nor" supports both the hi3519 and the hi3521a.
Also, I'm not buying chips or boards from Hisilicon. I'm just working on some consumer electronics that happens to include a hisilicon soc and unreleased gpl code, working to improve it. Regards Marty.
