Would cat'ing 'em together do the trick ?

OTOH, we could introduce meta-options in a separate menu, that just
enable the actual ones. eg:

--> Select SoC type
   --> imx6 series
       --> imx6 model: imx6q, imx6dl, imx6ul, ...
       --> enable networking
       --> enable lcd display
       --> enable hdmi display
       --> enable sdma
       --> enable usb
   ...
