Until some new SoC part of the sun9i family comes up, and it will just
add to the confusion.

Plus, who the "end user" is for a Kconfig file? My guess is that it is
a kernel developper, or at least someone with a good kernel
experience.

Such a person would know that the A80 is part of the sun9i family if
it has some knowledge of the Allwinner SocS. And if they don't, A80 or
sun9i or both won't make any kind of difference.
