I don't recall all the details but IIRC there are parts if arch_topology
that are ARM64/RISC-V only. ARM32 doesn't use it as it may break old
platforms. Some of the functions that still arm32 specific are retained
in arch/arm

No please, leave arm32 as is. It was done for a reason like that and it
help to not break some of the old 32-by platforms.

Thanks.
