Humm, what does that achieve?

Nothing ;)

Slipped through unnoticed, I'll drop it.

+ This enables support for Broadcom ARM based SoC chips

menuconfig maybe?

There isn't any in arch/arm64/Kconfig.platforms right now, so I didn't
feel like introducing one. Also the dependency should have pretty much
the same effect ...

+config ARCH_BCM2835
+ bool "Broadcom BCM2835 family"
+ depends on ARCH_BCM
+ select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
+ select CLKSRC_OF
+ select PINCTRL
+ select PINCTRL_BCM2835
+ select ARM_AMBA
+ select ARM_TIMER_SP804
+ select HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER
+ help
+ This enables support for the Broadcom BCM2837 SoC.
+ This SoC is used in the Raspberry Pi 3 device.
+
config ARCH_BCM_IPROC
bool "Broadcom iProc SoC Family"
+ depends on ARCH_BCM

Does not seem necessary nor adding anything here.

Added for consistency. When we add ARCH_BCM all ARCH_BCM_* should
depend on it ...

We could also do it the other way around: make ARCH_BCM a hidden bool
and have ARCH_BCM_* select it.

Yes, this is probably better.

ARCH_BCM_IPROC is currently enabled in arch/arm64/configs/defconfig. By adding a dependency here without enabling ARCH_BCM in arm64 defconfig, this effectively disables ARCH_BCM_IPROC from arm64 defconfig.


cheers,
