One way to avoid having to modify mach-bcm/Kconfig would be to have your
i2c driver Kconfig do this:

default ARCH_BCM_IPROC

would that work?

Yes. So in which case it is better to select a driver from the
architecture specific Kconfig?

I suppose if your driver/subsystem is critical for system boot, like
powering a regulator or something that has a critical purpose, a select
is probably more appropriate here. If this is just exposing non-critical
devices, I would go with a depends on/default at the driver Kconfig level.

This is just how I see things, others would definitively have a
different view.

Okay. Thanks. I default the driver to y in patchset v3 just like some other I2C drivers in the same Kconfig. It already depends on ARCH_BCM_IPROC so it makes sense to set the default to y, i.e., it will be enabled by default for ARCH_BCM_IPROC platforms.

         This enables support for systems based on Broadcom IPROC
architected SoCs.
         The IPROC complex contains one or more ARM CPUs along with
common
