In my position in S.LSI, I'd like to keep the current ARCH_EXYNOS4 and
EXYNOS5 because IMHO selecting each series would be helpful on real product,
multiplatform is available though. Additionally EXYNOS3 is being added.

It's true we can support exynos-multiplatform even though above options are
included...
