Since we are creating unified kernel images, having other drivers is not
a problem.

SOC_GOOGLE will work exactly the same and depend on ARCH_EXYNOS or
appear everywhere as ARCH_EXYNOS. We already had this talk with Tesla.

And hardware is Exynos. Tesla FSD and Google Tensor is Exynos, even if
you do no like calling it.

There is no arbitrary dependency. We call it all Exynos hardware,
because this is Exynos.

I remember what you were pushing for removal of ARCH_EXYNOS and there
waas clear feedback, not only from me: this is against communities goals.
