I personally find having the defaults for various popular platforms readily available in menuconfig to be a lot easier than having to dig some documentation to find the appropriate addresses. I.e, the current way is perfect. It's just that there is no need to show the physical/virtual addresses if an existing well-known platform is selected, especially as it causes weird behavior due to how kconfig works. Which Boris patch is solving.
