Suggest splitting this into 2 patches because these 2 changes are really
orthogonal-- one patch for the ARCH config name change, one for the rename
ls2085a to ls2080a rename.

Not sure why you're describing it as "churning out a host of ARMv8 based SoCs".
Just get to the point--  Layerscape is an SoC family so we're changing from the
SoC specific ARCH kconfig option to a more general SoC family option.

Thanks,
Stuart
