This is definitely not noise, and I agree with you, having whether
you're enabling the v5 or v7 SoCs will hopefully allow to end up in a
situation where you search for hours why it won't boot.

I'm going to try to back my way out of this hole by saying that they
should be more descriptive anyway (and it'll give clueless kconfiggers
a hint as to why they're not seeing their SoC listed)

However you're right, if both cannot be visible at the same time, then
it really doesn't matter if they both have the same name.

Sorry for the noise,

This is already required by armv5.

Allwinner currently has only ARMv5,7,8 SoCs. ARMv8 is under
arm64 architecture, and ARMv5 and v7 cannot be selected at the same time.

That name seems a little too generic. Maybe "Allwinner ARMv5 SoCs"?
