If I had to guess, I'd think they only had their own version because the old one required a GIC.
I apologize for the delay.
The reason for using a custom version was to avoid enabling ARMV8_MULTIENTRY config option since the Exynos7 code was ready for it.
Either way, since Samsung doesn't reply, I'm fine potentially breaking their boards if that means that we can make progress for actively maintained ones:

This patch without the ARMV8_MULTIENTRY and ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 config options does not switch the boot CPU from EL3 to EL1. So it would be preferable to not merge this patch until ARMV8_MULTIENTRY is enabled for Exynos7.
Why do you want to switch it to EL1 in the first place? Linux is very happy to live in EL2 - which is what we call it in by default.
