Introducing separate type (TYPE_S3C2440_HDMIPHY) has been our original
attempt to solve this issue.  However, this required adding explicit
checks to driver code all over the place (if (type == S3C2400 ||
type == S3c2440_HDMIPHY).
Another option is to change the type to be a pointer to a struct with
quirk flags in it.

Sure, that's possible.   However, I don't find it any simpler than
using  bitmasks.  Quite to contrary - I consider it redundant to
bring new structure into existence when simple uint does the trick
just fine (IMHO, of course).

If you consider code to be inherently less readable because of this
approach I'll rework it.  If it's not a such big deal for you I would
prefer to keep it as is.

Thanks!
