Isn't "arch" ambiguous anyway? I connect that with CPU architecture, as in
x86, ARM, RISC-V. And we have that in the top level directories: arch/arm,
etc.
But here it's one level below, isn't it? Where "platform" (or "plat")
would be a more suiting term to describe a SoC family, like xilinx or
sunxi?
So the hierarchy would be really: arch -> plat -> soc -> board?

Or am I confused here?
