My initial question is that I don't want anyone using CONFIG_QE_83xx
or CONFIG_QE_85xx in code, the second part is if there is a way to
remove duplicating the QE_83xx/QE_85xx options down in platform/8 {3,5}
xx/Kconfig.


What about the following solution:


arch/powerpc/Kconfig.qe:

<-- snip -->

config MACH_SUPPORTS_QE
bool

config QE
bool "QUICC Engine Support"
depends on MACH_SUPPORTS_QE
help
...

<-- snip -->


arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/Kconfig:

<-- snip -->

...
source arch/powerpc/Kconfig.qe

config PPC_MPC836x
bool
select MACH_SUPPORTS_QE
...
....

<-- snip -->

Not sure this helps since I end up having to source arch/powerpc/ Kconfig.qe from both arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/Kconfig & arch/ powerpc/platforms/85xx/Kconfig and then mconf grips about having already scanned Kconfig.qe.
