It's best to consider CONFIG_CPU_V6/CONFIG_CPU_V6K/CONFIG_CPU_V7 in the same light as CONFIG_CPU_ARM926T etc. It selects a specific CPU core (or family of CPU cores) rather than an architecture - the fact that it _may_ tie up with an architecture is incidental. The CPU_32vX selects the major architecture version. 32vX<letter> selects sub-options of the architecture. It may be better at some point to get rid of the CPU_32v* and replace them with CPU_ARCH_V* instead, which makes it clear that these ones definitely refer to the architecture versions. The last point while we're here is I don't think it helps to have the conditionals spread between the Kconfig files and this file - I'd much rather see them all in Kconfig so we can see exactly how we end up with each option (TLS_EMUL, TLS_V6, TLS_V6K) in one place.
