I would not allow users to store these vital hex values in their
defconfig and other unsafe places. Instead follow the pattern from
arch/arm/Kconfig.debug for storing the DEBUG_UART_PHYS:

config DEBUG_UART_PHYS
        hex "Physical base address of debug UART"
        default 0x01c20000 if DEBUG_DAVINCI_DMx_UART0
        default 0x01c28000 if DEBUG_SUNXI_UART0
        default 0x01c28400 if DEBUG_SUNXI_UART1
....
i.e. make sure to provide the right default values. We probably
need at least one example for others to follow.

Maybe this is your plan, I don't know, wanted to point it out
anyways.
