Either this should be ARCH_MA35 or you should integrate it with NPCM.
ARCH_NUVOTON means all Nuvoton platforms.

I'd go with two separate Kconfig options here (ARCH_MA35 and ARCH_NPCM)
for arm64, but keep the shared arch/arm64/boot/dts/nuvoton directory,
I think that fits most closely what we do on other targets, and there
is apparently very little sharing of IP blocks between npcm and ma35,
if any.

Dear Arnd and Krzysztof,

Thank you for your suggestion, it really helped me. We are also considering
whether to use ARCH_MA35. As NPCM and MA35 are designed for different
application areas, it is unlikely that they would be used simultaneously.
Therefore, it would be more reasonable to separate them into ARCH_NPCM and
ARCH_MA35. In the next version, v10, we will change all instances of
ARCH_NUVOTON in this patchset to ARCH_MA35 and keep shared directory
changed.
