There is multiple reason for this :
- This makes it easier to see which driver is needed for each SoC
- This makes it easier to create a custom config for one SoC
- This really reduce boot time (which some people might want)
Some explaination about the files :
- std.arm64 contains all standard kernel option
- std.dev contains all the standard kernel devices
- std.<soc> contains all drivers needed to boot on this SoC family
- <SOC> includes std.arm64, std.dev and std.<soc>
- GENERIC includes std.arm64, std.dev and all std.<soc>
