Do we want to mix all that DT files? Are ARCH_BCM_63XX (ex-)users
interested in compiling all of them?

For IPROC SoCs we have separated symbols: ARCH_BCM_CYGNUS / ARCH_BCM_HR2
/ ARCH_BCM_NSP / ARCH_BCM_5301X and we compile arch specific DT files
only.

I am fine with that and build systems (buildroot and OpenWrt at least)
typically offer a way to produce a device specific image that will
contain a single DTB fit for the target device.

What we would be optimizing for would be build time vs. coverage, as a
maintainer I favor coverage as it allows me to build everyone in one
sweep. We could make the building of the 63138 conditional upon
BCMBCA_CORTEXA9 if that bothers you.
