Do you mean something like :
config ARCH_SUNXI
  	...
	select SUNXI_PLATFORM

And have

config SUNXI_PLATFORM
	select SUNXI_DEPENDENCY_1
	select SUNXI_DEPENDENCY_2

where SUNXI_PLATFORM drives the dependencies for both ARM and ARM64 ?

If so, where would you like SUNXI_PLATFORM to reside ? drivers/platform ?
Also, AFAIK, the arm64 port doesn't have the full support for the required
bits for SUNXI yet, which could be handled in the common place with ( && !ARM64).

Andre, please feel free to correct my assessment above.
