Will it be better if it is enabled in generic config?

If you have any assembly code then you just stub it for non arm64.
Since these are integrate controllers, I guess, there is no issue in
stubbing the non arm64 specific things.

I believe in that way, it will be maintainable. i.e there will not
any case where arm64 config failing but not non arm64 configs.

On the upside, The common code(ethdev, cryptodev) changes will be build
against your driver by all the developers.
