Freescale will be a churning out a host of ARMv8 based SoCs which will
be based on a similar overall SoC architecture. So, this patch
converts the existing infrastructure in the arm64/dts, arm64/Kconfig
and arm64/configs to use the generic convention ARCH_LAYERSCAPE in
place of the more specific FSL_LS2085A, to save code duplication
later-on.

Also Freescale is renaming LS2085A to LS2080A.

This patch addresses the above two points.

Suggest splitting this into 2 patches because these 2 changes are really
orthogonal-- one patch for the ARCH config name change, one for the
rename ls2085a to ls2080a rename.

I was seeing the compilation breaking up at patch level if I did so.
Will try to see if this can be achieved without breaking up the compilation
for individual patches in v3.
 

Not sure why you're describing it as "churning out a host of ARMv8 based
SoCs".
Just get to the point--  Layerscape is an SoC family so we're changing
from the SoC specific ARCH kconfig option to a more general SoC family
option.

The prologue is to describe that other ARMv8 SoCs with similar architecture
will be put-out, which will be part of the overall Layerscape family.
