Is this working correctly if we have ARCH_BCM_IPROC under ARM and ARM64?
They are guarding the same SoC line, which now uses ARM64 CPUS.

Yes, since the "ARCH=" parameter from the compiler helps to route it to
the right directory, arch/arm or arch/arm64, and you cannot compile both
in a single image. Same case for other SoCs, e.g., tegra (ARCH_TEGRA),
exynos (ARCH_EXYNOS), and etc.

The benefit of sharing the same arch flag is that the device driver that
exists in iProc family of SoCs (both arm32 and arm64) can be guarded or
enabled properly.

Thanks,

Ray

Yes, I like that as well, better maintain a single symbol across two
architectures than multiple across multiple architectures.
