I can't think of a reason why ARCH_BCM2835 would be set without ARM ||
ARM64.  I'm just trying to be cautious.  I still would like the
"default n" added just as a precaution.  I thought the default was n
unless provided but I see other drivers doing that and build config has
some complex options for upgrading old configurations that I don't
completely understand.
