I double-checked this one and found that this was just added to the defconfig
as a transitional entry, with the ARCH_BCM4908 being the one that is
the one to go away, as described in 32d3da7d2f44 ("arm64: make
ARCH_BCM4908 select ARCH_BCMBCA"), so I think we should leave this
one out.

The rest is fine. If it's ok with you, I'll just apply the other three bits
and drop the ARCH_BCMBCA part from the patch and the description.

Thanks,
