OK, so in an effort to have a smoother transition of ARCH_BCM4908 towards ARCH_BCMBCA, I am inclined to take this patch right now, put it in a part2 of our recent ARM SoC pull request and try to get it in v5.20-rc1.
Then William can go ahead and do a treewide s/ARCH_BCM4908/ARCH_BCMBCA/g which we would be queuing up *against* v5.20-rc1 for 5.21. This ought to assure a smooth transition for "make oldconfig".
Sounds good? If so, William, Kursad, do you want to ack that patch?
