While patches should normally be split up into per-subsystem
changes, they also have to be done in an 'atomic' way:
applying just the first patch without the second one must
not introduce a regression.

In this case, I'd suggest simply doing a larger patch for
the global rename to collect 'Acked-by's and send that through
the arm-soc tree.

If you get in a similar situation with more complex changes,
you should come up with a way to do it independently. Here
you would first have to introduce a CONFIG_ARCH_HI3620
symbol in one patch and make that always selected at
the same time as CONFIG_ARCH_HI3xxx, then change all users
of that symbol, and finally remove the original.
