I was just scanning through remaining arm64 additions to see what others have
done. We seem to have two options here:
a) Just use ARCH_K3 and no specific SoC configs
b) Specific SoC configs 
In both cases, use += instead of \ to incrementally add dtbs

We have been going with (b) so far, Tero: any specific preference here?

(a) has the aspect of simplicity and reduced dependencies.
(b) Allows downstream kernels to save just a little bit and focus purely
    on SoC of interest.
