Thanks to Arnd and Geert!

How about this?

choice
prompt "CPU type"
default CPU_N13
config CPU_N15
bool "AndesCore N15"
select CPU_CACHE_NONALIASING
config CPU_N13
bool "AndesCore N13"
select CPU_CACHE_NONALIASING if ANDES_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
config CPU_N10
bool "AndesCore N10"
select CPU_CACHE_NONALIASING if ANDES_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
config CPU_D15
bool "AndesCore D15"
select CPU_CACHE_NONALIASING
select HWZOL
config CPU_D10
bool "AndesCore D10"
select CPU_CACHE_NONALIASING if ANDES_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
endchoice
