A few another things I noticed while looking at the end result:

This endif should cover the whole including the source
boards/Kconfig.  In that way, deselecting SND_SOC_INTEL_SST_TOPLEVEL
will skip the whole.  As of this patch, you'll be still asked about
the board config even if you say TOPLEVEL=n.

... so here should be placed the endif.

Do we still need this filtering?  Since we have a top-level filter,
users who want to skip the Intel stuff can say N there already, and I
can't imagine anyone who want only the SST core / platform drivers
built without machine drivers explicitly.
