If ARCH_SOPHGO coverage is considered too wide, it's not correct to
make RESET_SOPHGO_SG2024 "default ARCH_SOPHGO" either, so there's no
significant difference.

The question is whether you need it at all. Can SG2042 boot, possibly
with reduced functionality, into a useful system without the reset
controller? If so, maybe it is enough to rely on a defconfig to enable
RESET_SIMPLE? Otherwise, reset-simple could be considered small enough
to accept carrying it around for non-SG2042 SoCs by default, it can be
disabled manually, after all.
