In mach-bcm we (or I, it's not very clear to me) want to have support for
multiple SoCs.

In trying the approach

machine-$(CONFIG_ARCH_BCM)		+= bcm
machine-$(CONFIG_ARCH_BCM4760)		+= bcm

I got linker complains about multiple symbol definitiion in case both the
config options are selected.

The first thought was to use a common option which purpose was only to
include the subdir but then, given my allergy to the tons of config options
with usually not straghtforward purpose, I opted for something more simple.
