That's not really Quentin's point. His point is that having things
like flags and/or variables to identify various behaviours that might
differ from one SoC to the other usually works better when you want to
support several of them.

For example, replacing the gen2_ths by one variable with the number of
clocks, one with the number of channels, a bool to say it has a reset,
etc. definitely works better for us when Allwinner does some mix and
match between each SoC. And this happen most of the time.
