Sorry, I missed that this was going on, and I absolutely agree with your
sentiment. From what I can tell from the git log, Tegra was the first
to have the separate choice statement, after it just move its
options from mach-tegra/Kconfig into the Kconfig.debug. OMAP followed
with the same method and I think from there people just copied it.

I can understand why one wants to have some more structure in the list,
given that i.MX alone has 37 options for UART addresses, but we first
need to have a consistent method of configuring the addresses.
