Am I missing something?
I asked you to verify because I didn't (and was making assumptions) - if it's
not getting selected, keep the select here. I have no problem with that.

You're not going to add one ARCH entry for each MTK Airoha platform, are you?
(if you are, that's wrong)
....so the help text must be refactored; you could say something like
"This enables support for the ARM64 based Airoha SoCs"
ack, I will fix it in v4.
...also, I'm undecided whether MTK should be mentioned or not, here, as those
SoCs are (...at least the 7581 seems to be) really based on MediaTek router
chips, in many instances, sharing the same IPs.
Right, EN7581 is similar to mtk router but I do not know if this will be always
true (maybe?? :))
I hoped you did know more... but even if logic says that it will be true for most
probably a long time (since Airoha *is* [a subsidiary of] MediaTek), perhaps it's
not a good idea to mention MTK?
I'm not sure either. Of course, mentioning MTK would for the sole purpose of making
sure that whoever tries to port new Airoha SoCs has a pointer (as in: look at MTK
SoCs, you can reuse stuff from there, don't lose time with reinventing the wheel),
but at the same time if Airoha starts being different, that'd do the exact opposite
of my intention...
Uhm.
Any advice from anyone else?
...otherwise just avoid the mention.
Cheers,
Angelo
