In [0] for a similar situation Arnd said

"I would rather see only one Kconfig option per SoC family and use
ARCH_MEDIATEK without any MACH_* options. We can have other options
for e.g. networking chips from Mediatek that are not closely related
but I would group all the phone and tablet chips under one option
here. Same for the other vendors of course."
