Since there is no rush here, maybe stage this out over two releases?
At first, just introduce the new symbols as aliases like

config ARCH_FOO
      def_bool SOC_FOO

then change all the drivers in the following cycle after the syumbol
exists, and finally rename the user-visible symbols and remove the
old version.
