This still needs to be better. How do I know whether it should be enabled
for my platform or not?
Presumably, we can say that CCI-400 does not appear on CPUs older than X,
which means we can add "The CCI-400 may be provided on ARM CPUs X or
later."
I doubt that you'll find CCI-400 on ARMv6 or older ARM architectures for
example. Maybe then we need "depends on ARM || ARM64" to be tighter?
"depends on (ARM && CPU_V7) || ARM64" ?
