Right, and if it's just a case of having a different hw_params() or
something then the majority of the driver could be shared with just a
few bits being handled differently.

Yeah.

It's certainly worth considering - given that it's the same silicon
vendor working with the same SoC vendor's reference designs it seems
likely that things will look pretty similar at the system integration
level.  It's possible that it's more trouble than it's worth but it'd be
good to have a more concrete understanding of why.
