Yes and yes. Sometimes it's easier to leave an slightly misleading
name than to change it. ;-)
If there is any relation between Hi3620 and Hi3520, we could also
decide to use the "HI3xxx" name for both after all, and just
change the Kconfig files like
config ARCH_HI3xxx
bool "Hisilicon Hi36xx family"
depends on ARCH_MULTI_V5 || ARCH_MULTI_V6 || ARCH_MULTI_V7
select CACHE_L2X0 if CPU_V7
select HAVE_ARM_SCU if SMP
...
config DEBUG_HI3520_UART
bool "Hisilicon HI3520 Debug UART"
depends on ARCH_HI3xxx
select DEBUG_UART_PL01X
help
Say Y here if you want kernel low-level debugging support
config DEBUG_HI3620_UART
bool "Hisilicon HI3620 Debug UART"
depends on ARCH_HI3xxx
select DEBUG_UART_PL01X
