Palmer had some reservations about it, so I dropped it for now.  But then 
as I was thinking about it, I remembered that I also had some reservations 
about it, years ago: that everyone should use CONFIG_SOC_* for this, 
rather than CONFIG_ARCH.  CONFIG_ARCH_* seems better reserved for 
CPU architectures.

If you agree, would you like to send a followup series, based on the DT 
patches, to make the SiFive DT file builds depend on CONFIG_SOC_* instead?

Thanks for the comment,
