Many thanks for words of encouragement and for hints.
I haven't browsed manuals of all Kinetis members, but I'll aim for
having all under a single variant (if possible without too much clutter
in sources).
I haven't looked at the details of all family members but from
Freescale's overviews it seems that with exception of Segment Display
Controller K60 is superset of other devices. I hope (but can't promise)
to get everything under a single platform CDL.

Many thanks for registration.
