The description for the first one says "Broadcom BCM2835 family", and I
guess they are both in the same family. How about leaving the
CONFIG_BCM2835 symbol to mean one of them, and just duplicating the
DEBUG_LL symbols?

You could do something like

config ARCH_BCM2835
        bool "Broadcom BCM2835 family" if ARCH_MULTI_V6 || ARCH_MULTI_V7
        select ARCH_BCM283X
        select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
        select ARM_AMBA
        select ARM_ERRATA_411920 if ARCH_MULTI_V6
        select ARM_TIMER_SP804 if ARCH_MULTI_V6
        select CLKSRC_OF
        select PINCTRL
        select PINCTRL_BCM2835
        help
          This enables support for the Broadcom BCM2835 and BCM2836 SoCs.
	  These SoCs is used in the Raspberry Pi and Roku 2 devices.

That should make it less confusing to the user, because they don't have
to know which specific SoC they are building for, other than enabling
the right architecture level.
