I see. That sounds like an even stronger reason to not duplicate
the definitions, as this is very confusing.

I think having the soc-family prefix is better, as it avoids
defining the same symbol to a different value. Better make this
as explicit as possible.

I think overall, a better solution would have been to define the
constants globally (shared with non-exynos) to start with,
and have the driver translate generic numbers into vendor
specific ones. Obviously it's too late for that now.
