I know that many other platforms still have their own configs [*] but
I would strongly prefer to have a single config supporting Exynos SoCs
(that would be a multiplatform one) to simplify testing and prevent
situations when something works with one config but not the other.

[*] I also hope that they get removed in the longer-term..
