Even the BCM number is inconsistent here.
Well, given the past chip numbers, we could call the family's Kconfig
ARCH_BCM283X, and for now arm64 would only do the 2837 in the family.
Back when I was doing 2836, other maintainers agreed that renaming all
of the ARCH_BCM2835 in the tree to BCM283X was pointless thrashing.

I thought we would just use ARCH_BCM, or is it too generic?
Consensus last time around seemed to be to drop adding ARCH_BCM, in
favor of patch 1 of the series.
I may have missed that discussion. My point was about consistency with
existing ARCH_* definitions in the arm64 Kconfig.platforms. I can see
why it's easier for you since some drivers are built based on
ARCH_BCM2835. Looking at drivers/clk/bcm/Makefile, there is an
inconsistent mix of CLK_BCM_* and ARCH_BCM_*. I would rather have a new
CLK_BCM2835 that's selected/enabled accordingly (maybe simply depending
on ARCH_BCM).
So I introduce a new ARCH_BCM here, that selects the just the 283x
family's core drivers?  That seems strange, but I'm willing if that's
what you want.
