As I said when you complained last, we asked the arm lads and there was no interest there in doing things differently & that's just one architecture.
Nor was there in adding a SOC_ symbol from some of the people who do more than one ISA.

You're welcome to send reverts for my first round of conversions and patches converting all the ARCH_ stuff RISC-V has to SOC_.
I'll happily ack a complete conversion to SOC_.
I don't care if it is arch or soc, I just want things to be used consistently.
