I agree.

I check the some issue for only using the CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS
insead of CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS7 and CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS5433.

Each CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS{7|5433} configuraiton was used on following list:
- CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS7
arch/arm64/boot/dts/exynos/Makefile:1:dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS7) += exynos7-espresso.dtb
drivers/clk/samsung/Makefile:17:obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS7)	+= clk-exynos7.o
- CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS5433
drivers/clk/samsung/Makefile:13:obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS5433)	+= clk-exynos5433.o

We may can fix it as following by only using 'CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS' without any specific configuration.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/exynos/Makefile:1:dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS) += exynos7-espresso.dtb
drivers/clk/samsung/Makefile:17:obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS)	+= clk-exynos7.o clk-exynos5433.o

I think that we need the opinion of Kukjin Kim (Exynos SoC Maintainer)
and Sylwester Nawrocki(Samsung clock Maintainer)
