Broadcom 63xx is MIPS only, unfortunately KConfig does not know
Someone on opensuse-arm list disputed that, saying these drivers are specifically both for MIPS and ARM (just like there's some drivers with SH or PPC in the name historically that are valid and used for ARM). Note that for example Exynos4 drivers are reused for Exynos5, so we need to consider transitive relations as well, not just 63xx.
So, what do you base the above on? Did you verify that no OF compatible string from those drivers is used in arch/arm/boot/dts/*? If you did, please propose a paragraph to add to the commit message as explanation.
Rechecked the DTS, currently the drivers are only used by some MIPS SoCs. There is a slight chance someone finds the ARM BCM63138 has compatible hardware to either BCM6328 or BCM6358, so it is added later to the DTS. On the other hand, BCM6328 and BCM6358 are same generation/age MIPS devices and are not compatible, so I would expect a new driver for the BCM63138. In case the change is accepted, I will create a new patch against HEAD, with a clarified commit message.
