It is not obvious which MACH_SUN?I are ARCH_SUN6I derived. So if you can come up with a descriptive name for 'a number of things in common, such as having separate ahb reset registers in the ccm' that's fine otherwise this obfuscates the code, not clarifies.
I don't particularly object to the patch but this occurred to me too. I suppose the rule is "first sunxi to look this way".
How about we call groups of similar SoCs a "generation", i.e. ARCH_SUNXI_GEN2 is what is called ARCH_SUN6I here, meaning GEN1 would be SUN4/5/7I.
I've deliberately not considered SUN1/2/3I since I don't know much about them, and we don't support them AFAIK, but perhaps the generation numbers I've picked should be larger to accommodate them.
