[PATCH v2 1/9] ARM: introduce ARCH_MICROCHIP for ARM64 Microchip SoCs

[Oleksij Rempel]

Add the ARCH_MICROCHIP top-level symbol so subsequent peripheral
driver patches (atmel serial, atmel-quadspi, ...) can gain
ARCH_MICROCHIP as a build dependency.

This SoC architecture covers Microchip's ARM64 switch SoCs, starting
with the LAN969X family. ARM32 Microchip/Atmel SoCs (AT91, SAMA5)
continue to use ARCH_AT91.

Changes v2:
- also select COMMON_CLK: the SoC clock controller driver added later
  in this series depends on it
