As far as I can see, the main difference is that omap4/5 are using SRAM
to store various bits such as the boot device
(OMAP_SRAM_SCRATCH_BOOT_PARAMS). On omap3, that logic is not used and a
global variable (omap3_boot_device) is there instead.

We could easily make that logic fit omap3 as well and get rid of the
global variable. I also see a few functions from omap-common's
hwinit-common.c that could be reused on omap3.

I could start looking into that, even though again, I don't have many
OMAP devices to test with.
