Yes, definitely agreed. Most of the peripherals are similar enough that they
can be supported by a shared driver. I actually started working on this some
time ago, but never finished it, because other things took priority.
The code can be found here:
http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/qi-kernel/source/tree/jz47xx-2.6.38/arch/mips/jz47xx
The code is based on 2.6.38 and is a bit outdated by now, but I think it gets
the idea over quite well. And most of the patches touching jz47xx related code
are still valid as well.
As for the renaming I'm not so sure if it is really necessary. We often stick
we the name for the driver or architecture version which was first supported by
the kernel and add note in Kconfig and comments that the driver also supports
other version/variants of the peripheral or SoC.
