You're totally right with the similarities, and the original idea was to
add on to the '27s driver, unfortunately the register layouts are too 
different for it to be worth it.

After a brief glance at the register layout for the aw86224, it totally 
seems compatible with the aw86927, lots of shared registers, so I 
definitely think that your approach is the way to go there.

Good luck with the aw869224!
