That's the plan*. But currently neither one is supported by
BMIPS_GENERIC, which was my starting point. And making BCM63XX use the
driver is ... complicated, due to (important) consumers not being
platform drivers (the MPI/PCIe controller codes). And they can't be
just converted to platform drivers, as they should then be non-legacy
PCI controller drivers, so a full rewrite is needed.

So let's stick with BMIPS_GENERIC first, else we never get anything
done ;-). In the end BCM63XX should go away anyway, once BMIPS_GENERIC
has reached feature parity.

* if it even makes sense, as these are quite old, and systems will
quite struggle running a modern kernel/OS.
