I didn't see it on the version I'm looking at now, but if it's inconsistent or
allows you to select combinationst that cannot be built, then it should be fixed.

Yes, that is what I thought, but it is inconsistent with how other platforms do this.
Usually, the top-level selection chooses one source directory, and anything specific
to that platform is handled by that Kconfig.

Right.

Just put it below the CPU selection.

OMAP does something like this -- you first select either OMAP1 or OMAP2/3/4, then
the families in the latter case, and finally the boards.

You can do the same by first giving the choice between ARMv6 and PXA168/910, and
then showing the boards below the CPU. There are multiple ways of doing this
that lead to the same result.
