Thanks Geert

I will implement it like this.

config HWZOL
        bool "hardware zero overhead loop support"
        depends on CPU_D10 || CPU_D15
        default n
        help
          A set of Zero-Overhead Loop mechanism is provided to reduce the
          instruction fetch and execution overhead of loop-control instructions.
          It will save 3 registers($LB, $LC, $LE) for context saving if say Y.
          You don't need to save these registers if you can make sure your user
          program doesn't use these registers.

          If unsure, say N.

config CPU_CACHE_ALIASING
        bool "Aliasing cache"
        depends on CPU_N10 || CPU_D10 || CPU_N13 || CPU_V3
        default y
        help
          If this CPU is using VIPT data cache and its cache way size is larger
          than page size, say Y. If it is using PIPT data cache, say N.

          If unsure, say Y.

choice
        prompt "CPU type"
        default CPU_V3
config CPU_N15
        bool "AndesCore N15"
config CPU_N13
        bool "AndesCore N13"
        select CPU_CACHE_ALIASING if ANDES_PAGE_SIZE_4KB
