I think only the top-down approach makes sense

in the first step we could do something like this:
config TEGRA30
bool
config SOC_TEGRA30
bool
select TEGRA30

how about this:
Makefile:
...
lib-y += boards/
...
board/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_BOARD_A3000) += a3000/
...
obj-$(CONFIG_VENDOR_NVIDIA) += nvidia/
...
board/nvidia/Makefile:
obj-y += common/
obj-$(CONFIG_BOARD_BEAVER) += beaver/
obj-$(CONFIG_BOARD_CARDHU) += cardhu/
...
