I agree!

You're right, depending on how different the hardware is. It could be
(I haven't checked) that the hardware works the same but the base
address is different, such as with the UARTs.
In that case we can re-use this code and the differences will be
smaller. So I think here
simply removing "After support gets added if condition should be
removed" should be OK, although I don't consider it blocking for
merging.
