No, you probably lose there, unless you can fall back to code names
instead of product numbers.

My point was really that they should not be exclusive, even if they
are rather different. If the code is structured in a more modular
way, you can turn all MSM/QSD options from the "Qualcomm MSM SoC Type"
choice into separate "bool" config options. You probably don't want
to do that now for all the existing ones, but I would suggest you
try not add more to the pile ;-).
