Well, you have CACHE_L2X0 depending on HAVE_L2X0_L2CC.  Selecting
CACHE_L2X0 without HAVE_L2X0_L2CC being selected will make Kconfig
produce a message about unmet dependencies.

The other solution to this is:

config CACHE_L2X0
	bool "Enable the L2x0 outer cache controller" if HAVE_L2X0_L2CC

and I think that's more in keeping with what Rob mentioned in his
message - it makes this a non-user selectable option unless
HAVE_L2X0_L2CC is enabled.

However, in this case it would be more sensible to name the option
'MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0'.  (btw, please name the option after the
option it relates to.)

Ok.
