There's no strong reason to add a new ARCH here, apart willing to kill
the MESON name, but it's usual to keep a arch naming from the first
SoC family supported, it doesn't mean the new aren't supported or
whatever, it's only a simple config name.
I understand the new SoCs are a new family, but they still share a lot of
IPs and driver that are present and supported on the Meson SoCs.
Please concentrate on adding the DTs and compatibles, changing the
current config and driver names is low priority unless there's a really
strong reason.
It's perfectly ok to drop meson for new configs, new driver & new bindings,
and it's already the case for the A1 SPIFC driver and most new G12/SM1
compatibles.
