I'm going to try to back my way out of this hole by saying that they
should be more descriptive anyway (and it'll give clueless kconfiggers
a hint as to why they're not seeing their SoC listed)

However you're right, if both cannot be visible at the same time, then
it really doesn't matter if they both have the same name.

Sorry for the noise,
