Well, given the past chip numbers, we could call the family's Kconfig
ARCH_BCM283X, and for now arm64 would only do the 2837 in the family.
Back when I was doing 2836, other maintainers agreed that renaming all
of the ARCH_BCM2835 in the tree to BCM283X was pointless thrashing.

So I introduce a new ARCH_BCM here, that selects the just the 283x
family's core drivers?  That seems strange, but I'm willing if that's
what you want.
