But why there are different files for different CPUs when their hardware "on 
chip" is the same?

I have an i.MX27 and i.MX31 board here. Question is, what kind of 
CPU/architecture support you are using for i.MX21? The one from arch/arm/imx? 
Or something from arch/arm/mxc3, arch/arm/plat-mxc?

So now we have a few (nearly working) implementations. What should be used? 
The implementations from soc/imx or from soc/fsl?
