Alexey, you are not alone.

I am also opposed to "optional"  in SoC/board select menu.

Maybe, we should choose a reasonable default in each select menu?
(or simply choose the first choice in the menu?)

I posted two patches:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/502793/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/502794/

I hope these two are not bad choice.
