Well, I'm not sure adding Kconfig-style logic really is a good idea as
it removes some incentive to do things right and move everything over to
Kconfig (which is out of the scope of this patch set, I believe).

In addition, I don't see what a relevant place to but this in would be.
Putting that in sunxi-common.h is just adding two useless extra lines
(having the define is sufficient).

Overall, I don't think this is a good idea when we have Kconfig around
the corner to do things right…
