Only a small number of bit definitions in the registers are the same [1].
Even if the logic is roughly the same. it still takes a lot of work,
and i2c-pxa cannot easily add the fifo and dma functions that k1 has.
Just my opinion, I don't think it's worth it.
of course, if you think that multiplexing i2c-pxa is a better decision.
I'd be happy to adopt it
