If you are going to flatten the structure then you should also probably correct the companion chip name. The code base this was started from was vx800 but its been modified for the vx855. At the time OLPC got the code the mods were already made so we don't know exactly what what changed from vx800 to vx855.
The vx855 is a subset of the vx800. The code will probably work on a vx800 but I'm sure there are subtle differences. Perhaps you should rename it to be vx8xx and then start dealing with the differences when you find them.
Sounds like a good plan, yes. If the vx855 is a subset of vx800 the differences should be minimal and a common code base should be nicely doable.
