I do not know. This seems a shorthand in Kconfig level.
masahiro@zoe:~/ref/u-boot(master)$ rgrep '^config SPL_' | wc 540 1080 24872 masahiro@zoe:~/ref/u-boot(master)$ rgrep '^config TPL_' | wc 163 326 7462
If hundreds of duplications are not manageable, go for it, but kconfig will be out-of-sync from the upstream Kconfig.
Yes that's right, it is a shorthand in Kconfig.
The counts above understand the problem a little since quite a few CONFIG options without an SPL prefix are used in SPL. We don't have tools to estimate how many, and we sometimes add a new symbol to 'gain control' of a particular feature in a phase.
My intent in sending this patch was to check whether this support for configuring multiple related builds (or something like it) could go upstream, which for Kconfig is Linux, I believe. What do you think?
This complexity is absolutely unneeded for Linux.
So, the answer is no.
