[PATCH] ARM: sunxi: add an help section to the Kconfig Sun8i SoC selection

[Corentin Labbe]

Since sun8i regroup lots of SoCs, it is helpful to list them in the help
section of Kconfig.

IIRC Maxime was against having chip names in here, as we would end up
updating this every time a new chip gets added.

Instead, what about using Allwinner's explanation? I.e. sun8i is a
chip with only Cortex-A7's, and sun9i is a chip with Cortex-A15's.
And just tell the user to say yes if they are not sure.
