What about ARCH_BCM_63XX references in
1. arch/arm/Kconfig.debug
2. arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig

Did you handle them in some other patchset?


This change is probably going to break "make oldconfig" for users. Is
there any kernel policy for that? Do we care about it? Should we leave
old symbol as hidden and make ARCH_BCMBCA auto-selected if it's set?


Finally it'd probably be more clean to first introduce
ARCH_BCMBCA_CORTEXA9 and then get rid of ARCH_BCM_63XX.
