I'm not an expert for the capabilities of Kconfig, but one looong list
with hundrets of entries clearly makes no sense. We obviously need sum
grouping / structuring.

IMHO there should be several options:

- for those who look for a board name, we should support this,
  probably wih an initial selection by the first letter (case
  insensitive) of the board name.

  like this:	=> board name => M => MPC837XERDB

- alternatively, it should be possible to restrict the choice by
  selecting first processor architecture (ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, ...),
  then CPU (family) name, then board names.

  like this:	=> Architecture => PPC => MPC83xx => MPC837XERDB

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
