This really wants to be a flat list instead of a "choice" statement,
so you can build a kernel for multiple boards at once. Is there a
reason why this is not possible right now?

Also, how different are these boards and socs still? Since you are
based on device trees for hardware configuration, do you actually
need the options at all?
