I don't know ... Maybe, but what I have in mind is a tree like 
this:
   mcu/
     common/
     ... (Cypress Semiconductor here) ...
     lpc81x/
     lpc82x/
     lpc15xx/
     lpc175x_6x/
     lpc177x_8x/
     lpc40xx/
     lpc43xx/
     ... (Freescale Kinetis here) ...
     stm32f401/
     stm32f405/
     stm32f407/
     stm32f411/
     stm32f415/
     stm32f417/
     stm32f427/
     stm32f429/
     stm32f437/
     stm32f439/
     ... (Texas Instruments here) ...

-Because there would be some things that can be recycled for all 
microcontrollers, and there will be a lot of different device 
types.

Things that can be recycled would be carefully written drivers, 
such as LCD drivers that uses the SPI protocol. The SPI interface 
itself cannot be recycled, though, as each device has different 
SPI hardware and different GPIO hardware.
It could also be 'minimalistic memory handlers' and other 
algorithms, which do not know anything about hardware.
It might be possible to make a CMSIS which can be recycled as 
well.
