Details - The older SoCs such as Armada XP and 370 only supports vfpv3-d16 while 385 and newer does complete vfpv3 and neon. This hampers performance of newer SoCs quite a bit and makes little sense not to split these since we already build vfpv3+neon binaries. While neon-vfpv4 exists, neon-vfpv3 doesn't and for some reason it's just called neon in GCC (which translates to arm_cortex-a9_neon in LEDE for this SoC family).
